BUG: Create an exe's implib output dir for VS

If an executable marks symbols with __declspec(dllexport) then VS
creates an import library for it.  However, it forgets to create the
directory that will contain the import library if it is different from
the location of the executable.  We work around this VS bug by creating
a pre-build event on the executable target to make the directory.
