[CMake] Different configurations with Visual Studio

[Mark Van Peteghem]

Thanks, this works. Actually

if(CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES)
   set(CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES Debug Release DebugMX31 ReleaseMX31)
   set(CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES "${CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES}" CACHE STRING
     "Reset the configurations to what we need" FORCE)
 endif()

also works for me. I've added it to the FAQ of the Wiki. But this is only
half of what need. I actually need to make this generate settings for a
different platform as well, I mean 'platform' in the Visual Studio sense,
also called 'solution platform' in Visual Studios configuration manager,
which is Win32 by default, but I need it for both Win32 and MX31.

Can this be done with CMake? I'm afraid not, but if it is possible, how? In
the project file it is written as something like Debug|MX31, but using that
in CMake doesn't work.
