[Cmake] FW: Studio 7 Debugging types

[William A. Hoffman]

There is a general problem with the visual studio 7 generation.
The flags in the CMAKE_* variables are not always mapped to the 
GUI settings.  

This can be found here:
http://www . cmake . org/Bug/bug . php?op=show&bugid=42&pos=0

At some point all the possible flags need to be mapped to the GUI
settings.   

As for Release having a program database, this is what the IDE
does by default.  If you create a new project without cmake using
the IDE, and look at the Release build, it will have a program
database on.

I guess you could use the nmake makefiles and the flags will work.
Other than that you could change the cmake source, or wait until this
issue gets resolved.
