[CMake] Does CMAKE_DEBUG_POSTFIX not affect executables?

[Michael Jackson]

I use something like the following:

#-- Set the Debug and Release names for the libraries
SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES( ${exe_name}
     PROPERTIES
     DEBUG_OUTPUT_NAME ${exe_debug_name}
     RELEASE_OUTPUT_NAME ${exe_release_name}
)
