[CMake] Possible bug: <config>_OUTPUT_NAME not used as target property LOCATION

[Laurentiu Nicolae]

H Brad, 

Returning a special string from the LOCATION replaced at generation
time sounds good to me. Visual Studio (version 8 at least, I haven't
checked for the other versions) uses for instance the $(TargetDir) and
$(TargetName) variables, which are expanded to the proper name. I
believe that having one custom command for each configuration is indeed
overkill, since most of the time we want the same post-build steps
executed for all configurations. 

I've filled a bug report, ID is 3250. Thanks for the swift reply. 

Cheers,
Laurentiu
