Hmm, I've seen this expressions, but I'm not sure how it can be useful
because the expressions are used to generate test input.

My problem is about getting property to generate environment
for test before it is executed:

In one subtree of my sources, I have mylib target building mylib.dll
In another subtree, I have test. Next, I build and run test:

add_executable(mytest test.cpp)

target_link_libraries(mytest mylib_import.lib)

add_test(mytest ${CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY}/mytest)

set_tests_properties(mytest PROPERTIES
  ENVIRONMENT "PATH=c:\path\to\dir\with\mylib.dll\")

I need to figure out this: "c:\path\to\dir\with\mylib.dll\"
