[CMake] Per-configuration include directories?

[Robert Dailey]

It won't be necessary with link_directories because you can specify
absolute paths to your LIB files in target_link_libraries(). You can also
specify 'debug' or 'optimized' prior to the lib. for example:

target_link_libraries( myproject
   debug "C:/project/libs/debug/zlib.lib"
   optimized "C:/project/libs/release/zlib.lib"
)
