Hello,

You're doing nothing wrong. Current selected configuration is stored in 
the user file (.suo) which is a binary file. It is then impossible for 
CMake to generate this kind of parameter. But I guess you only need to 
set the default configuration only once because CMake won't overwrite 
the user file.

Otherwise if you don't need the other configuration types you can try 
the trick proposed by Josef.
