Summary:                    setting COMPILE_DEFINITIONS_<CONFIG> is broken
Description: 
Setting the compile definitions for a particular configuration does not work
using the following command, which should according to
http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_2.6_Notes:

set_property(TARGET ${PrjName0} PROPERTY COMPILE_DEFINITIONS_DEBUG SOMEDEFINE)

Steps to Reproduce: 
1. Unzip the included hello world project.
2. Run "cmake -G "Visual Studio 9 2008" .
3. Open the project in Visual Studio 2008.
4. Go to project properties -> C/C++ -> Preprocessor and see that the definition
did not apply.

Additional Information: 
Setting the compile definitions for all configurations does work, though:

set_property(TARGET ${PrjName0} PROPERTY COMPILE_DEFINITIONS SOMEDEFINE)
