Because (1) ADD_LIBRARY() might lack the SHARED/STATIC keyword, and the user can decide which type of library is built via the BUILD_SHARED_LIBS variable, so an ADD_LIBRARY() command can be unalteredly used to build a shared library as well as a static one, and (2) on *nix, the outcome of ADD_LIBRARY(... SHARED ...) is a LIBRARY target whereas on Windows, the DLL part is a RUNTIME target, and the accompanying import library is an ARCHIVE target. For these reasons, the same ADD_LIBRARY() command - i.e., the same target - might generate different types of libraries, so there is a need to specify the respective *_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY individually.
