Hi,

you can use generator expression in a post build rule to copy the dll file to 
the same target dir as the target you link it with. The easiest way to do this 
is to properly define all 3rd party libraries as imported targets that contains 
both, the lib and the dll file.
Sadly, the FindQt4 on Windows doesn't do this and thus make life harder than 
needed. CMake configuration files should always do this right.

OTOH, you could also write a wrapper batch file or change VS properties to 
modify PATH to include all libraries before the regular path.
