You can change the names, but you cannot remove the per-configuration 
subdirectory right now.  In CVS CMake and the upcoming 2.4 release you 
can set the "DEBUG_POSTFIX" target property on the files.  See the 
documentation of the SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES command for details, but the 
short-hand is

SET(CMAKE_DEBUG_POSTFIX "d")
ADD_LIBRARY(...)
ADD_EXECUTABLE(...)

You can setup the install rules to install without the per-configuration 
subdirectory, but currently it is not possible to change this in the 
build tree.  It may not be too hard to implement, but someone will have 
to investigate it.  You can submit a feature request here:

Please also send me the resulting bug number.

Thanks,
