[CMake] Choosing library directories for different build types

We have two sets of prebuilt libraries that we link against: debug and
release. These are organised in debug and release directories outside
of our source tree. Typically, the debug and release libraries have the
same names in each directory.
I can't find a good way to tell cmake that when I want to do a
RelWithDebInfo build, it should look in the release directory for those
prebuilt libraries.
The handling of the "debug" and "optimized" keywords for
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES isn't very helpful, as it seems to be aimed at a
layout with a single directory containing two builds of each library.
If I specify paths to debug or optimized libraries, they are mangled by
cmake. For example, "c:/lib/apr-1.lib" turns into "apr-1", so the
linker can't find the library any more. "../../apr-1.lib" is preserved,
but that hard-codes the tree layout into the build, which I don't like.
What should I be doing here? I've reached the limit of what I can find
out by reading the docs and trying experiments.
