[CMake] Some issues with visual studio

[Renato Utsch]

But why CMake generates the Debug mode thing first, not the Release? I
can only configure this with msbuild executable? Because I can't find
it :X

I only need to make the Release mode the standard one, there isn't a
way to do that changing a configuration with CMake?
