Ah...I see now, sorry for misunderstanding.  That would indeed be a 
useful feature, much like how you can set flags for different variants 
in Boost.Build.

With generators that don't support configuration types, you can hack 
your way around it with if statements:

if( ${CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE} STREQUAL "Debug" )
   set_target_properties(...)

but that's kind of a crummy solution and won't work with the VS 
generator.  I would also be curious to find a solution to your problem.
