Cmake: confusion with AUTOMOC

Hi,

imagine following situation: a source tree with various files, including

modulebase/interface.h
moduleA/implementation.cpp
moduleA/implementation.h
moduleB/implementation.cpp
moduleB/implementation.h

Now you try to use CMake as described at https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.3/manual/cmake-qt.7.html , building a library from these sources.

Result: in the build directory, a file moc_implementation.cpp is created and then it apparently gets overwritten by another moc call, and eventually you get the obvious linker error with undefined symbols.

Any anyhow, I am wondering why the automoc stuff goes into the plain build directory. I have a nice source structure with files in subdirectories, and the AUTOMOC stuff spams all over the build directory while normal object files get splitted into <builddir>/subdirectory/projectname.dir/ folders.

I checked quickly against 5.5 (diffed the *Macros.cmake file ) and saw no related improvements.
