Actually I consider this a bug, or a missing feature if you prefer, because Cmake generates all possible configurations in one go in the multi-configuration case. For one, it should be possible to select parts of the script depending on the configuration. Plus, I think there should be a way to get "just the right" value of a property like LOCATION for the currently active configuration, be it in the single- or multi-configuration case.

Right now it looks to me as if there are things possible in the single-configuration case which aren't possible in the multi-configuration case. Isn't there a variable like CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE that gets set to the currently created configuration during the generation of multi-config files?
