We can't necessarily control IDE object file locations in general.
Special handling for PCH by C++-implemented support can work in
a generator-specific manner such that we do not need to implement
these properties at all.  We should avoid exposing controls to
internal implementation details whenever possible.  They make
refactoring in the future much harder.

Anyway, I think time in this thread is much better spent on
the link Steve sent or a similar approach.
