[CMake] Some issues with visual studio

[Renato Utsch]

Don't know if you read all the emails, but I already found a solution
to the problem with all exe's with one output dir.

If you are right about the list of solution configs, so my search ends
here, but I alredy solved the real problem, so it's ok...
