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

[Matthieu Brucher]

Thank you for the tip, I'll try that immediately.
The use for an extension is due to the fact that there are a lot of
additional data that must be in a special folder relatively to the build,
and that copying this data into each folder can be more problematic than an
extension :(
