[CMake] LOCATION/CMP0026/export/import

[Robert Maynard]

With generator expressions making the reading of  LOCATION non-viable
during configuration time ( since the actual location is now evaluated
at generate time ), the general solution is that you need to move your
LOCATION reading logic also to generate time. In general this means
using something like file(GENERATE ) to dump the location to disk.
