I'm not sure if you'll be able to easily get the "Debug" prior to the
"ApplicationName" because usually Visual Studio adds that.  If you can live
with "ApplicationName/Debug/ApplicationName.exe" the following might work
for you:

add_execuable(ApplicationName foo.cc)
set_target_properties(ApplicationName PROPERTIES RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY
ApplicationName)

I would only consider this if you are building all static executables or are
willing to live with using the PATH environment variable to keep DLLs in
your path.  Otherwise you're very quickly going to run into a problem
running one or more of your executables and you'll have to copy DLLs to
every folder.
