[CMake] Eclipse Generator and Configuration

[Michael Jackson]

Well,
    One way to "fix" the issue is to create 2 build directories (which  
is what all the other IDEs would do), one for Debug and One for  
Release then in the Eclipse Project when you create the configurations  
just point eclipse at each build directory for its configuration. This  
does necessitate the need to run CMake 2 times, once for each  
configuration, but does end up working very well. I do this manually  
for Makefiles on Linux, OS X, and MSYS/MinGW
