[CMake] Decoupuling configuration and toolchain

[Ryan Pavlik]

Keep these lines, if they are necessary for your system:
if(CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES)
      set(CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES Debug Release)
      set(CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES "${CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES}" CACHE
STRING "Reset the configurations to what we need" FORCE)
endif()

Remove the other lines.  In general, for something like this, you'd have
multiple binary/build directories for a single source tree.  With a
multi-config generator like Visual Studio, you just would need one build
directory for each platform (win32 and arm).  For a single-config generator
like NMake or Unix Makefiles, you'd have one build directory for each
platform-mode pair (win32-release, win32-debug, etc).

Hope this helps!
