Because it may horrendously interfere with my current established  
workflows but I would be open to trying this out. The main issue I can  
think of is the whole release/debug versions of libraries clobbering  
each other during the build. This would force an updated policy for  
the decorating of library/executable names or generating sub folders  
for each type of build configuration. Didn't we just discuss this in  
another thread?

The default is for CMake to generate a "Release" configuration for  
Makefile based projects. ie, if you do NOT specify or otherwise set  
CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE then you will be a "Release" configuration.
