If you give target_link_libraries() a "library" that's the name of a
target in your CMake system, CMake will automatically figure out where
it has built that target and will link to it for you.

Thus, all you need to do is:

target_link_libraries(A B)

When you do a Debug build, A will link against the debug B. When you do
a MinSizeRel build, A will link against the minsizerel B.
