[CMake] multiple executables

I guess, that would be the option if I would need just one
executable. But I need ten executables - each one of different name.
Simlinks, etc. are not an option because this is used on Windows only.

It would be nice to get ${CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR} working. Investigating...
Finally, found a bug!

Following cmake code

add_custom_command (TARGET autoconsole
      POST_BUILD
      COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E copy
      ${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}/${CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR}/autoconsole.exe
      ${ivview_BINARY_DIR}/${CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR}/ivview.exe
      COMMENT "Copying executables..." VERBATIM)

produces following command as post-build step in Visual Studio:

C:\usr\pkg\cmake-2.6.0-win32-x86\bin\cmake.exe -E copy 
C:/Users/John/Desktop/ivTools.cmake.Win/build/winAutoConsole/"$"(OutDir)/autoconsole.exe 
C:/Users/John/Desktop/ivTools.cmake.Win/build/ivview/"$"(OutDir)/ivview.exe

Notice "$". The "" avoids correct expansion of $(OutDir) by Visual 
Studio Express 2008. If I manually remove "", everything works like a 
charm. I am using cmake 2.6.0. Not sure about 2.4...

Note: The "" are not seen in "Output window" - you have to enter Project 
-> Properties -> Build Events -> Post-build Event and see Command line,
or you can open BuildLog.htm. I am able to give you support in testing, 
etc....

If you confirm it as bug, I am able to proceed with the project at next 
patch-level release. Thanks for your work at cmake - excelent project.
