[CMake] Forcing CMake to place targets in directories?

[Robert Dailey]

The documentation says:

OUTPUT_NAME sets the real name of a target when it is built and can be used
to help create two targets of the same name even though CMake requires
unique logical target names.

The target being built here seems to be the VCPROJ when using "cmake -G" for
visual studio 2008. Can someone help me understand the purpose of
OUTPUT_NAME if I am mistaken?
