I think when using qmake with QtCreator, the user can choose the 
configuration at build time by selecting it from the left-side menu.

Such a feature would also work with cmake projects if the user chooses to 
use the XCode generator on mac or VS generator on Windows (or if someday we 
have a multi-config Ninja generator or so).

However, I don't think that is an immediate goal, and that information can 
be added later easily if a client does need it.

Thanks,

Steve.
