Summary0011806: CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE should be a drop down box
DescriptionCurrently, you have to manually type one of {None, Debug, Release, RelWithDebInfo, MinSizeRel}. Would it make more sense to choose one of these from a list? Or at the least, throw an error if the string supplied does not match one of those.

For cmake-gui this can be done by setting the STRINGS property of the cache entry:
set_property(CACHE CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE PROPERTY STRINGS "DEBUG;RELEASE;MY_BUILD_TYPE")

Shouldn't this be the default though, rather than having to add that line to every CMakeLists.txt file?

Not for 2.8.5 - postponing until a future release

Another thing to consider about CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE specifically is that some projects use custom values for this entry that are not one of the standard well-known set {None, Debug, Release, RelWithDebInfo, MinSizeRel}...
