It would take some changes to the C++ code.  Look here:

 http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=blob;f=Source/cmMakefileTargetGenerator.cxx;hb=v2.8.10.2#l658

If one sets vars.Target next to where vars.TargetPDB is
set then the replacement should occur.  If you get it working
please respond back here with a patch.
