Sure. Sorry for the lack of details.

I have a directory that contains DLL files that I need to copy to the
directory at which my executable is built. However, the DLL files that I
copy over are different depending on the configuration that was used to
build the executable. For example, if I've built my executable using the
DEBUG configuration, I need to copy over DLL files named foo_d.dll,
bar_d.dll. If RELEASE was used to build the executable, then I need to copy
over foo.dll and bar.dll. Since the debug/release executables are placed in
different directories by CMake when they are built, the destination location
for the DLLs also changes across configurations as well.
