So what? Instead of copying the DLLs to the build location of the
executable, copy _all_ relevant files to an extra location of your choice.

The LOCATION_<CONFIG> property also exists.

Why do you even care for the name of the actual files? What purpose does
it have to name debug and release libraries differently but no being
interchangeable?
