Actually now that I think about this a littler closer, changing the
generator expressions may not work for a specific case I'm blocked on.

I store my third party library binaries in a "debug" and "release"
directories. I have a custom target that I define to copy the
appropriate debug or release DLLs to the appropriate output
directories, so that when I debug my applications, they find the
appropriate DLLs in the same directory. So the copy mapping should be
as follows:

debug -> Debug
release -> Release
release -> RelWithDebInfo
release -> MinSizeRel

Specifically for the RELEASE case. I can't use $<CONFIGURATION> for
the source directory, since the name is "release" between all 3
release configurations. This case is easily solved with issue 9974,
however. Any thoughts?
