OTOH, do you really want to copy the executable, or do you want it to be
generated somewhere else in the first place? In that case, there is the
CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY variable and the RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY
target property. Also, there are configuration specific versions, e.g.
CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY_DEBUG.
