Yes, unfortunately I just discovered it today while working on generator 
expressions for linking.

Yes, I looked into that, but I'm not sure how to actually do it.

RunCMake.cmake seems to use:

  execute_process(
    COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} "${RunCMake_TEST_SOURCE_DIR}"
              -G "${RunCMake_GENERATOR}" -DRunCMake_TEST=${test}

I'm not sure if I should just add API for a -
DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=${RunCMake_BUILD_TYPE} there and just limit the test for 
this to the makefile generators?

Thanks,

Steve.
