[CMake] Confikgurations and Platforms in Visual Studio 8

[Neal Meyer]

Josef,

I think you want to add a build type
http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_Useful_Variables see the comments under
CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE.

I've used the following to remove the extra configurations that cmake makes
by default that I didn't want in my project files.
SET( CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES "Debug;Release" CACHE STRING "Only do Release
and Debug" FORCE )
MARK_AS_ADVANCED(CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES)
