[Cmake] Adding suffixes to debug/release builds

[NTR]

Hi again,

how about when one wants to link the four different libraries generated by
CMake to Debug or Release libraries accordingly e.g. "foo" has the four
libraries something like:
foo - Win32 MinSizeRel" (based on "Win32 (x86) Static Library")          -
links to bar.lib
foo - Win32 Release" (based on "Win32 (x86) Static Library")               -
links to bar.lib
foo - Win32 RelWithDebInfo" (based on "Win32 (x86) Static Library")  - links
to barD.lib
foo - Win32 Debug" (based on "Win32 (x86) Static Library")                 -
links to barD.lib

Regards,
Niels
