i'd love to provide a reduced test case, though i can only reproduce
this in a complex real-world buildsystem, with dozens of libraries and
some include_external_msproject / add_dependencies pairs ...
fwiw, i've been able to work around this with vanilla cmake-3.1, by
moving the .idl file and the source including the iid file("_i.c") into
a separate static library.

that said, i wonder: why would it be ok to use a relative path in the
generated project ... or, what would be the disadvantage of using an
absolute path?
best,
tim
