How to Generate Windows DLL versioning information with CMake

Question

I'm using CMake to build a shared library, however for the Windows DLL I need the versioning information, like:

FileDescription
FileVersion
InternalName
LegalCopyright
OriginalFilename
ProductName
ProductVersion

So far, all I have are the VERSION and SOVERSION properties, but these don't seem to correlate to the FileVersion information I was expecting.

set(LIC_TARGET MySharedLib)
add_library(${LIC_TARGET} SHARED ${SOURCES} )

SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(${LIC_TARGET}
    PROPERTIES
    VERSION ${MY_PRODUCT_NUMBER}.${MY_PRODUCT_VERSION}.${MY_BUILD_NUMBER}
    SOVERSION ${MY_PRODUCT_NUMBER})

I've found manual methods (see example at the bottom) but would prefer to contain this within CMake.

Help?
