[CMake] Running library tests under MSVC2010

[Nils Gladitz]

When you run your test binary windows will look for the DLL:
- in the path of your test binary
- the current working directory
- the directories in your PATH environment variable
- ...

Personally I put all binaries (executables and DLLs) into a single 
output directory by setting the RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY target property.
The sources can stay distinct that way though the output directory does 
get a bit crowded.
