[CMake] RE: CMake 2.4.1/VC71 Why the wierd <project>.dir subdirs?

RelWithDebInfo, for example.

Just adding the string "<project>.dir" to the path doesn't get you
anything.

The <project>.dir directories are so that the same source file compiled
in different targets in the same directory with different flags work.
