Summary:                    PDB_NAME target property ignored
Description: 
I'm building using cmake 2.8.11 with the Visual Studio 10 Generator and
src/CMakeLists.txt contains

  set_target_properties (${PROJECT_STATIC_LIBRARIES} PROPERTIES
      VERSION "${LIBVERSIONFULL}" OUTPUT_NAME GeographicLib
      PDB_NAME GeographicLib_STATIC)

After building I have

  <build-dir>/src/DEBUG/GeographicLib_STATIC.pdb

alongside my .lib file as expected.  (Actually it's
geographiclib_static.pdb, but never mind about that.)

A colleague is using cmake 2.8.12 with my project and for him the pdb
file is buried as

  <build-dir>/src/GeographicLib_STATIC.dir/Dedug/vc100.pdb

I.e., the directory and the name are wrong.  This bug was introduced
between 2.8.11 and 2.8.12.  The following deletion seems to be
responsible.

 }
 


Steps to Reproduce: 
Set the PDB_NAME property on a library, build the Debug config.  PDB file is
in the right location with 2.8.11 and in the wrong location with 2.8.12.
