I'm generating wrapper scripts to start the examples in the Wt
(http://webtoolkit.eu ) tarball with just a double-click (the examples
require parameters; the wrappers provide some sensible defaults). I
wanted to generate the wrapper script in the binary directory but the
examples do not do "project(examplename)".

I've resorted to generate the wrapper scripts in PROJECT_BINARY_DIR.
