[CMake] CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY without the extra 'Debug' or 'Release' ?

[Erwin Coumans]

By the way, I had a quick look at the source code
in cmLocalVisualStudio7Generator.cxx  for case cmTarget::EXECUTABLE:

replacing
  temp = target.GetDirectory(configName);
by
   temp = target.GetDirectory("");

seems to do the job of removing additional 'Debug' or 'Release'
directories from the OutputFile executable name.

    temp += "/";
    temp += targetNameFull;
    fout << "\t\t\t\tOutputFile=\""
         << this->ConvertToXMLOutputPathSingle(temp.c_str()) << "\"\n";

Is there a better way, or should I write an option/patch
to strip the configuration directory that can go in the cmake release?

Thanks,
Erwin
