Summary0013082: Projects without a build configuration called "Debug" do not load in XCode 4.3
DescriptionIf CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES does not include a configuration called "Debug", then the generated XCode project will not load in XCode 4.3.

You get the message: "Project *mumble*.xcodeproj cannot be opened: The project contains has no default build configuration - it may have been damaged"

Examining the project file, I see this reference to a non existent configuration "Debug", which, if I edit by hand to a legal configuration, allows XCode 4.3 to open the project.

/* Begin XCConfigurationList section */
              112307722465449CAB35CE62 /* Build configuration list for PBXProject "MUMBLE" */ = {
                     isa = XCConfigurationList;
                     buildConfigurations = (
                            405A72F866C04328BAC5995E /* Release */,
                            4337EF4DA71245D9A159CB90 /* Instrumented */,
                     );
                     defaultConfigurationIsVisible = 0;
                     defaultConfigurationName = Debug;
              };

Which is caused by these lines in cmGlobalXCodeGenerator.cxx
( from method cmGlobalXCodeGenerator::CreateXCodeObjects )

  std::string comment = "Build configuration list for PBXProject ";
  comment += " \"";
  comment += this->CurrentProject;
  comment += "\"";
  configlist->SetComment(comment.c_str());
  configlist->AddAttribute("defaultConfigurationIsVisible",
                           this->CreateString("0"));
  configlist->AddAttribute("defaultConfigurationName",
                           this->CreateString("Debug"));

Here's a diff for a patch which seems to fix the problem, but I not not familiar enough with the code to know if this is a good, leak free, crash safe fix.
