The executables and libraries are named in CMake by the add_executable()
and add_library() commands respectively, and can be modified after the fact
by subsequent calls to set_target_properties(target PROPERTY OUTPUT_NAME
newname).

It might be possible to add a collection of set_target_property() calls in
CMakeCustomLists.txt which can be used to add custom CMake modifications.
Currently a custom file is permitted at the top-level and in asn1, epan and
ui\gtk.

Dealing with directories is much harder, most of them are hard-coded in the
CMake scripts.
