Because it is *different* from IDE-backends such as Visual Studio. I 
have no problems with having multiple build trees per se, but having 
completely different ways of building multiple configurations forces any 
driving build script to have to know whether to run CMake once for all 
configurations or once per configuration.

If the "cmake --build" mechanism could be extended to automatically 
build all configurations (by for example creating (on Unix) multiple 
per-configuration build trees under the "root" build tree), that would 
be a sufficient solution for me.
