I am not finding an option to automatically run cmake prior to every  
build. After you have properly setup an "External Tool" to run cmake  
from within Eclipse this becomes less of a need. I the early stages  
when first creating the CMakeLists.txt file constantly selecting the  
"Run->External Tool->Cmake" is a pain, but as your project stabilizes  
this becomes less of an issue. You might be able to write shell  
script that runs cmake, then make and then invoke that script instead  
of mingw32-make -C Build/

Cmake handles Debug and Release differently than other systems.  
Basically you want to setup 2 build trees in your project, Say Build- 
Debug and Build-Release (Or just Debug and Release). I think in  
Eclipse 3.2 + CDT 3.1.2 you will have to manually switch the make  
command between each of the build folders to get the desired effect.  
In the newer versions of Eclipse (3.3RC2) CDT 4.0RC2 I think there is  
better support for configurations for Makefile projects. So basically  
you can setup a Debug configuration and point make to the "Debug"  
directory and a Release configuration and point the make command for  
that configuration to the "Release" directory. Let us know how things  
progress.

  I wrote most of the CMake/Eclipse wiki Entry and will update it  
with MinGW information if you have anything to add. I am updating the  
wiki entry at the moment to make things easier to find.
