So you want to be able to run your executables directly from the buildtree, 
right ?

To solve the problem for dlls which are built in your project, you can adjust 
the directories where cmake creates executables and shared libs, so that they 
are created in the same directory and the dlls will be found:

set(RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY "${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/bin" )

This should put both exes and dlls into one common directory.
