[CMake] CMake for Visual and BUILD_TYPE

Hi all, I'm using cmake on linux for 2 years now, and i have some question
now that i have to convert my project for visual

On linux i always use the command CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE to set the binary dir.
But on windows, even if a project is set with cmake as Build Debug, it
generates the Release cmake project too.
So When compiling in release , the CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE is set to Debug.

So things like that are not working :
 IF(CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE MATCHES Debug)
  INSTALL(TARGETS ${PROJECT_NAME} DESTINATION lib/Debug)
  ELSE(CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE MATCHES Debug)
  INSTALL(TARGETS ${PROJECT_NAME} DESTINATION lib/Release)
  ENDIF(CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE MATCHES Debug)

So how can i detect that i'm on release on windows ?

PS: i'm using the latest release of cmake 2.4
Thanks

Xavier
