Alex, thanks for your response. I did read that article before posting here. 
The problem with that is that it is too focused ecos with the use 
of "INCLUDE(UseEcos)" which seems to do all the hardwork! However, I did 
pick up some tips from there. :-)

I have made some progress since my last post but am having problems. For 
one, I added the following to CMakeLists.txt

IF(NOT CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE)
  SET(CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE Debug CACHE STRING
      "Choose the type of build, options are: None Debug Release."
      FORCE)
ENDIF(NOT CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE)

I dont understand it completely but picked it up from the FAQ. I only want 
these three options but yet the GUI gives option for 
CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_MINSIZEREL.

Also i want the options to be offerred in a drop down list. Else one can 
make typo errors that would be accepted.(?)

Besides that i am having problems with generating unix makefiles for the 
cygwin/gcc compiler on windows. It complains that gcc is unable to build a 
simple executable! This is probably something to do with the fact that i 
have multiple cygwin1.dll's. :-)
