This is true, but the problem is that when cmake is run on a project, you
get a .vcproj file with multiple build configurations.  So, given your example, 
if you run cmake and BUILDA is set you would get this file:

myprog-a.vcproj 

It would produce an executable called myprog-a.
However, it would have configurations called Release and Debug inside it,
that would be able to build a release or debug version of myprog-a.
