[CMake] Changing output path for MSVC so that it does not contain debug/release

[Mike Jackson]

This is what I did when someone "required" this:

# ---- Change the Suffix on the Generated Dylib  
--------------------------------
IF (CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE STREQUAL "Debug")
SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES (About
	PROPERTIES SUFFIX ".plug_d"
)
ELSE (CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE STREQUAL "Debug")
SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES (About
	PROPERTIES SUFFIX ".plug"
)
ENDIF (CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE STREQUAL "Debug")


<rant>
This is just completely NOT needed with any modern IDE or CMake. I  
know for a fact that VS 2003 and 2005 both will generate a "Debug"  
and "Release" folder placing the contents in those folders for each  
of their respective build types. Xcode on OS X will do the same  
thing. This obviates the need for adding "special" extensions to your  
libraries. But you say, I am on (Linux/BSD/Emacs/VI) and all I have  
is Make.. Well.. This is where CMake shines. Just create 2 build  
directories, one for release and one for debug. Each Directory will  
have its own complete build of the libs and executables. This will  
obviate the need for using naming schemes on your extensions.
