MantisBT - CMake
We are working on Visual Studio 2008 COM project which has IDL files and need MIDL to generate the .TLB and header and source files, and we faced with 2 major issues.
(1) Looking at 2.8.2 code, the patch from 0008165 hasn’t been applied. After we manually apply it, got us a step forward and now we faced with issue 0000002.

========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 1 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========
(2) After issue #1 resolved, we could finally MIDL tools ran against IDL files. There were 2 issues we face when issue #1 is resolved.
a. The .TLB files are generated inside build directory (example, vbabc.dir/Release) but Visual Studio is still looking for it in the CMAKE Source directory. Yes, we do want these files to be generated in vbabc.dir/Release which is the object directory because this will enable us to build from multiple processes and do not interfere with each build.
b. The generated headers is not in any Include path that when our source include it an error occurs.
c. For Linker, DebugInformation is YES for Release version.
The patch I'm submitting face all these issues in 2.8.2.
