[CMake] Binaries not ending up in the RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY

[Michael Wild]

Naaa, the variables are simply called CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY, CMAKE_LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY and CMAKE_ARCHIVE_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY. Aaron mixed them up with the respective target property names

A few other things:

- you can call INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES with more than one directory
- NEVER use FILE(GLOB ...), it is evil.
