Summary:                    CMake internal error:  cmTarget::GetOutputInfo
Description: 
I created an object library and then attempted to reference the target in a
custom command using $<TARGET_FILE:tgt>.  This caused the following:

cmTarget::GetOutputInfo called for my_obj which has type OBJECT_LIBRARY



This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
System error 768.

Steps to Reproduce: 
Using CMake for Win32 on Windows 7 x64

Create an object target:

add_library(my_obj OBJECT my_src.cpp)

Use the object target in a shared library:

add_library(my_lib SHARED $<TARGET_OBJECTS:sc_lo_obj> my_lib.rc)

Attempt to copy the object target using a custom command (a post build command
on the library):

add_custom_command (TARGET my_lib
                POST_BUILD
                COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E copy $<TARGET_FILE:my_obj>          
      ${OUTPUT_DIR}/my_obj_renamed.obj
		        )

Additional Information: 
I was looking for a way to copy an object file from the intermediate directory
to a directory of our choosing.  Seeing the OBJECT library option, I figured I'd
give this a shot to see what would happen.
