cmTestGenerator: Evaluate generator expressions in test properties
This is useful for cases like: add_test(NAME mytest COMMAND mydriver $<TARGET_FILE:myexe>) set_tests_properties(mytest PROPERTIES REQUIRED_FILES "$<TARGET_FILE:myexe>" WORKING_DIRECTORY "${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/$<CONFIGURATION>" ) In this example we require the actual test executable to exist to run the test in addition to the test driver at argv[0]. Also the $<CONFIGURATION> expression improves over \${CTEST_CONFIGURATION_TYPE} because the latter is not normalized for case-sensitive filesystems.
