[CMake] How to redirect output (.o file generattion) in specific directory

[Amit C. Kr. Saluja]

Eric, 
Thanks for this info!

> EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH
> LIBRARY_OUTPUT_PATH

These are global CMake variables. If we change it then
the EXECUTABLE & LIBRARY path of all the exe and libs
changes but not for .os The.os are still generated in
CMakeFiles/ directory.

Can CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR could do something?

regards
Amit
