Never mind, I have reproduced the problem.  It seems like the 
incremental linking is broken for VS 2010 nmake.

To get it to work, you have to do add /INCREMENTAL:YES to 
CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS_DEBUG, you get a warning but it does the correct 
thing with mt and the incremental linking:

[ 75%] Built target simpleLib
Scanning dependencies of target Simple
[100%] Building CXX object CMakeFiles/Simple.dir/simple.cxx.obj
simple.cxx
Linking CXX executable Simple.exe
LINK : warning LNK4224: /INCREMENTAL:YES is no longer supported;  ignored
[100%] Built target Simple

I will have to figure out a new way to add incremental linking to VS2010.
