+#Force all visual studio outputs to CMAKE_BINARY_DIR

What is the reasoning for this? AFAIK this makes it impossible to customize it
from the outside by doing `cmake -DFOO=bar ...`.  

 if(WIN32)
-	add_custom_command(OUTPUT ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/git.res
-			COMMAND ${WINDRES_EXE} -O coff -DMAJOR=${PROJECT_VERSION_MAJOR} -DMINOR=${PROJECT_VERSION_MINOR}
-				-DMICRO=${PROJECT_VERSION_PATCH} -DPATCHLEVEL=0 -DGIT_VERSION="\\\"${PROJECT_VERSION}.GIT\\\""
-				-i ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/git.rc -o ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/git.res
-			WORKING_DIRECTORY ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}
-			VERBATIM)
+	if(NOT MSVC)#use windres when compiling with gcc and clang
+		add_custom_command(OUTPUT ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/git.res
+				COMMAND ${WINDRES_EXE} -O coff -DMAJOR=${PROJECT_VERSION_MAJOR} -DMINOR=${PROJECT_VERSION_MINOR}
+					-DMICRO=${PROJECT_VERSION_PATCH} -DPATCHLEVEL=0 -DGIT_VERSION="\\\"${PROJECT_VERSION}.GIT\\\""
+					-i ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/git.rc -o ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/git.res
+				WORKING_DIRECTORY ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}
+				VERBATIM)
+	else()#MSVC use rc
+		add_custom_command(OUTPUT ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/git.res
+				COMMAND ${CMAKE_RC_COMPILER} /d MAJOR=${PROJECT_VERSION_MAJOR} /d MINOR=${PROJECT_VERSION_MINOR}
+					/d MICRO=${PROJECT_VERSION_PATCH} /d PATCHLEVEL=0 /d GIT_VERSION="${PROJECT_VERSION}.GIT"
+					/fo ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/git.res ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/git.rc
+				WORKING_DIRECTORY ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}
+				VERBATIM)
+	endif()
 	add_custom_target(git-rc DEPENDS ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/git.res)
 endif()

If you list a .rc in the call to add_executable() then CMake knows how to
handle it and will invoke the resource compiler on it. I am not 100% sure how
to provide additional arguments right now, but I believe it will lead to
simpler code than using add_custom_command() and add_custom_target().
