The archives have tons on this.  Maybe too much.

I do recall that on MSVC the default CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE is Debug and
we're stuck with it.  Has to do with MSVC innards, many minds threw
energy at the problem, there was no known solution.  Unless the latest
greatest MSVC is doing something different.
