[CMake] Confusion with $<CONFIGURATION>

[Robert Dailey]

On second thought, CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR won't work for multi-configuration
generators. It is using $(OutDir) for Visual Studio 2008 generator,
which my custom command can't understand. I'd like to use
$<CONFIGURATION> but then it won't work for single-configuration
generators (like NMake) where I want it to be "." only.

Any ideas?
