[CMake] Creating a directory during cmake run

[Noah Roberts]

Yep, pretty darn close.  One caveat is that done this way it makes the
directory in the source dir.  Had to use the CMAKE_BINARY_DIR
variables to make it in the build area...something I failed to mention
I needed before.

Thanks a bunch!
