The "Target" contains the instructions to build (create) a version of your application; the executable IS your application (and how it runs). If, for example, you wanted to release separate 32 and 64 bit versions of your applications, you would have two targets "MyApp32" and "MyApp64". Your executable might be named exactly the same. The target contains all the build parameters --- what compiler you're using and compile parameters, where the build is supposed to go, etc. The executable section allows you to pass parameters into your app, setup how debugging is supposed to happen -- all run-time parameters.
