[CMake] Add Custom COmmand and CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR

[Michael Jackson]

I robbed this from the HDF5 project which does something very similar to what I am doing:

SET (CMD ${CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY}${CFG_INIT}/H5detect${EXE_EXT})

That "seems" to at least point to the proper location. Now to get Visual Studio to actually execute the executable.
