[Cmake] Set project defaults that are still accessible from the ccmake GUI?

[William A. Hoffman]

The only way to do this is to create a new project specific variable.
Something like this:

SET(MY_BUILD_TYPE RelWithDebInfo CACHE STRING "Used instead of CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE")
SET(CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE ${MY_BUILD_TYPE} CACHE STRING "..." FORCE)
MARK_AS_ADVANCED(CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE )
