[CMake] CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE

I added the following notation to the Useful Variables page of the wiki:
http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_Useful_Variables#Compilers_and_Tools
"Note that CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE is not initialized with a readable value at
configuration time. This is because the user is free to select a build
type at build time. Use CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR if you need a variable that
evalulates to the correct buld time directory."
I am wondering if this behavior should be considered a bug. Even if
not, it's definitely inconsistent with user expectations. I'm not sure
my documentation above is wholly correct, but it's a 1st stab at
alleviating confusion.
Cheers,
