Yes, the EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH should be set per project into the
project binary_dir\bin

Put the test binaries into the same directory as the runtime part of the
library. e.g. in project\build\bin should be all libraries and test
executables.

External libraries should be expected to be in the path. This happens
right after $make install has been run. I am not sure about the current
state, so if libraries should still be build together, this would of
course make problems (as the make install will then only be run after
all libraries have been built).

That should improve now ;-)
