For multi-configuration generators (like Visual Studio) the 
configuration specific sub-directory is appended since the output of all 
configurations can not occupy the same space at the same time.

You can set the CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY_<CONFIG> [1] variables 
instead (one variable per configuration) which does not append any such 
directory.

You should be able to point all of those variables at the same directory 
at your own risk.
