[CMake] Proper way to set a binary folder inside of the "Debug" folder for Visual Studio

[David Cole]

If "${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}/bin/plugins" is used in an add_custom_command
context, you can use "${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}/bin/${CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR}/plugins"
instead to get what you want. If it's something else besides
add_custom_command, then elaborate with some more details...

${CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR} evaluates to something like "$(OutDir)" for VS,
"$(CONFIGURATION)" for Xcode and "." for makefile generators.


HTH,
David
