[CMake] Questions on CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES

Thu Mar 25 14:29:52 EDT 2010

You don't generally need to use link-directories - if you're using
imported targets from a *Config.cmake file, the build type choice I
would imagine is automatic (?), and if not you should be passing full
paths to the library files in target_link_libraries, where you can
specify using the debug, optimized, and general keywords.
