[CMake] Question about CMake and NMake generation

[David Cole]

When using makefile based CMake generators, set CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE to "Debug"
or "Release" or "MinSizeRel" or "RelWithDebInfo"...

Add it as a STRING cache entry in the cmake-gui or pass it with -D on the
cmake command line:
  cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=Debug -G "NMake Makefiles" ../source_dir
  nmake
