   Specify search and executable paths relative to the forwarding

   In the case of a multi-configuration build, when CMAKE_INTDIR is
-  defined, the build-tree paths should be specified relative to the
-  directory above the executable (the one containing the
-  per-configuration subdirectory specified by CMAKE_INTDIR).
