There is, however, a REMOVE_DEFINITIONS command, which you could use
judiciously to achieve the effect.  You'd have to be careful though.

If that's the extent of your problem, then it's easy.  Remember that
order of appearance in CMakeLists.txt does matter.  You'd do:
ADD_DEFINITIONS, ADD_LIBRARY, REMOVE_DEFINITIONS, ADD_EXECUTABLE.
