[CMake] Binaries not ending up in the RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY

[aaron.meadows at thomsonreuters.com]

Incidentally, I have the same error on the LIBRARY_OUTPUT_PATH vs.
CMAKE_LIBRARY_OUTPUT_PATH, but they were being placed in the directory I
wanted.  Is that a but or just a non-obvious feature?

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.
