I guess the mailing list is around for people to complain about.

Seriously, I think the question was not clear, and Brad did his best
to answer it as stated.  If you had asked how do you rename a library for
debug builds, I am sure someone on the list would have given an answer.

I am not really sure why you need to copy stuff anyway.
CMake automatically adds the current (INTDIR) to all LINK_DIRECTORIES.

So if you just put your libraries in Release and Debug then it should work,
the trick is to specify the path to the parent directory.

CMake essentially does this -Lc:/my/lib/$(INTDIR) -Lc/my/lib for each library
directory.
