The approach in fede1024#176 to handle MSVC was flawed, as it did not properly account for CMake's RelWithDebInfo configuration type. The correct approach is to ask CMake to install the library, rather than just building it, at which point the library will be at a stable path (OUT_DIR/lib) regardless of the directory structure that the particular CMake generator uses. Fix fede1024#191.
