Inside the builddir? No it won't. If you however use the install() method
together with the RUNTIME, ARCHIVE and LIBRARY options it will install the
.dll into the RUNTIME directory and the import library into the ARCHIVE
directory. So just make sure to provide all three for any install() call
and .exe and .dll will end up in the same directory.
