[CMake] Cygwin ccmake 2.4.2 CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE empty

[William A. Hoffman]

The CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE is by default empty on all UNIX/posix platforms.
Sort of goes back to when there was no build type for unix.  I suppose
the chicken project could force it to not be empty.   if empty, then do
a cache force to what you want.

A typical default is cygwhatever-0.dll.  I am trying to imitate a ./configure build that generates such a name.  Without such imitation the resulting app doesn't work.  Whether the app can rename things to cygwhatever.dll is unresolved.  In any event, Cygwin standard practice (I refrain from calling it a "best" practice) is to put these -xxx postfixes on stuff.
