I already do this for the NMake generator, e.g.

IF(WIN32)
   IF(CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE MATCHES "Debug")
      SET(PPVM_LIB_SUFFIX "sd")
      SET(PPVM_DLL_SUFFIX "d")
   ELSE(CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE MATCHES "Debug")
      SET(PPVM_LIB_SUFFIX "s")
      SET(PPVM_DLL_SUFFIX "")
   ENDIF(CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE MATCHES "Debug")
ELSE(WIN32)
   SET(PPVM_LIB_SUFFIX "")
   SET(PPVM_DLL_SUFFIX "")
ENDIF(WIN32)

SET(TARGET_TESTLIB TestLib${PPVM_LIB_SUFFIX})
ADD_LIBRARY(${TARGET_TESTLIB} source/TestLib.cpp)

but unfortunately I cannot do this if I generate Visual Studio .dsp files.
The .dsp generator does not have the build type available so the names of
the Debug, Release, RelWithDebug etc. targets are always the same.

Greetings,
Stefan
