The target name is the name given as the first argument to

CMake uses the target name to create the name of the vcproj files.
By default, the name of the library or executable created is based
on the target name and any appropriate prefixes or suffixes. But, if
you specify OUTPUT_NAME, then the name of the library or executable
created is based on OUTPUT_NAME instead. (Nothing to do with the
vcproj file name.)
There is no way to rename or move the vcproj files. They are always
named the same as the corresponding target and they are always in
the CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR corresponding to the
CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR containing the CMakeLists.txt file that
contains the ADD_LIBRARY (or other) command.
I know for a fact this can be done. If you look at the Boost.CMake
build system, you will see that for their test projects they are
placed in a directory named "${project-name}-test", whereas the
CMakeLists.txt file for the tests is in a differently named
directory. I'm not sure how this is done, and CMake isn't very
intuitive to read, especially since Boost CMake files are so complex
so I'm having difficulty finding the code that does this.
Yes, the boost cmake files are very complex. Basically there is a
chain of "add_custom_target" and then a naming of the target, then
add_executable, then add_dependency. I am not sure where all the
vcproj files end up as I have never tried it on windows, just OS X.
You will want to start with a regression test cmake file: like boost/
libs/program_options/test/CMakeLists.txt and then start walking up the
cmake hierarchy by hand to figure out what is going on. The main set
of cmake files are in boost/tools/build/cmake/*
Good luck. Since I was the one who last updated those cmake files you
can ask me questions if you need help understanding them OR if you
want to sign up for yet another mailing list you may want to ask on
the Boost-Cmake mailing list. http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-cmake
