[CMake] Running library tests under MSVC2010

[Nils Gladitz]

It isn't as bad as I might have made it sound. e.g.:

     add_executable(mytest test.cpp)
     set_target_properties(mytest PROPERTIES RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY 
${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR})
     add_test(mytest ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/mytest)

On unix (I'm not sure about all but at least on gnu linux) CMake 
"tweaks" by embedding library paths into executables (RPATH) which 
allows the OS to use those paths at runtime.
As far as I know there is no equivalent feature on windows(?)
