Hi

That sounds funny. Each time I see a question about "how to do something 
configuration-specifically when generating for visual studio" it ends up 
"why on earth would you want to do that?". I guess it proves one more 
time that visual studio users expect every feature that cmake provides 
at configuration-time to also be provided at pre-build time. Thanks to a 
lot of cmake scripting, I have managed to get something like that to 
work but it is true that some features are still not utilizable 
configuration-specifically.
(Last critical thing for me was how to tell cmake which CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE 
is "debug" and which is "optimized", which is why I am bound to use 
cmake from cvs where Brad King introduced a DEBUG_CONFIGURATIONS global 
property).
I am really interested ni cmake developers' feelings about that.
