Summary:                    Behavior of relative paths of target properties
Description: 
I was wondering whether relative paths can be used in the
LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY property, but this is not documented. @ngladitz
confirmed on IRC that paths are resolved against the binary directory, referring
to the code[1].

Affected documentation:
