[CMake] Disable pretty output

[Mike Jackson]

I _think_ that cmake defaults to a "Release" build if  
CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE is not given. Someone from the CMake dev team can  
correct me one way or the other.

Also try something like the following:

IF ( CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE MATCHES Debug )
  ADD_DEFINITIONS(-Wall)
ENDIF ( CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE MATCHES Debug )

If you build a Release, then CMake will already add the "NDEBUG"  
definition for you. So in your case, what you want is this maybe:

IF ( CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE MATCHES Debug )
  ADD_DEFINITIONS(-Wall -D_DEBUG)
ENDIF ( CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE MATCHES Debug )
