Look at the CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE variable in
http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_Useful_Variables
Basically you can have variables like CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_DEBUG,
CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_RELEASE, CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_WHATEVER, and the correct
variable is chosen by cmake according to the value of CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE
(e.g. DEBUG, RELEASE or WHATEVER.
