Unfortunately there are as many ways to denote these differences as 
there are projects. However, unless you're setting the 
ARCHIVE_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY, LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY, or 
RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY (and if you are, I highly suggest not doing so 
and instead installing as-needed to a local prefix), the files should 
not collide in the build tree - in a multi-config generator like MSVC, 
each target gets a directory for each build type, and in a single-config 
generator you'll only have one build type per entire build tree.
