The multi-configuration generators do understand CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR.
CMake generates code to call your custom command, including $(OutDir)
wherever you reference ${CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR}, and then Visual Studio
sets that before invoking your command so that it gets resolved to the
correct configuration-specific string.
Are you seeing your command called with the literal $(OutDir) from
Visual Studio? It should already be substituted for you by the time
you see it in your command's argument parsing.
