Actually that was more like per-target type flags... but

CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE   - this should be consistant between all generators,
no?  why is this not a good thing to test for?  Oh I see, cause like
MSVC you really need to flags built for all CMAKE_BUILD_TYPES at once
into the projects.

But, using CMake, you can't really just change the bulid type in
visual studio to another configuration, really you should regenerate
the project using cmake to change th build type.  oh - that's pretty
funny, all the default types of project are in a visual studio
project... and the options specified in the generator .cmake file are
changed... Hmm, but you're saying that the build type isn't actually
cycled during generation to get per-dependancy options....
