Summary:                    CMake should support custom commands that can vary
by configuration
Description: 
I think I have a use-case for the feature requested in issue 9974.

Boost DLLs/SOs need to be copied in place to run tests. The have config-specific
filenames, so the only way I can see to make it work is to copy all of them for
all configs, which is not ideal. Boost_SHARED_LIBRARIES_RELEASE and
Boost_SHARED_LIBRARIES_DEBUG below are constructed from the variables provided
by the FindBoost module.

foreach(file ${Boost_SHARED_LIBRARIES_RELEASE} ${Boost_SHARED_LIBRARIES_DEBUG})
	mb_message(STATUS "copying ${file} to binary dir")
	add_custom_command(
		TARGET SETUP_TESTS PRE_BUILD
		COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E copy_if_different ${file}
$<TARGET_FILE_DIR:${mod_name}>)
endforeach()
