[CMake] Renaming output of EXECUTABLE

[Reggie Burnett]

Gregor

Thanks for the reply.  I was thinking of this approach as well but wasn't
sure how to implement.  I'll use your suggestion for now.  I'm still
wondering about dynamic source lists.

If I have a build of a project that has 10 sources however, based on some
configuration option, there needs to be a couple of additional files also
included can I do this?  Is there a way to add these source files to the
target based on a define?
