[CMake] Missing CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES with project NONE on Windows

Hi all. I'm using cmake 2.8.10.2. I'm trying to introduce an
alternative compiler into my build system for Linux, so as a first step
I've separated my project statement from:
project(MyProject C CXX)
into:
project(MyProject NONE)
enable_language(C)
enable_language(CXX)
This works fine on Linux (makefile generator) and MacOSX (XCode
generator): cmake and build and test work. But on Windows (VS 10 Win64
generator) cmake succeeds, but running the resulting project file does
not work: it fails immediately. Looking at the CMakeCache.txt file I
can see that two of the default CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES settings are
missing; the cached value from before I made the above change is:
CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES:STRING=Debug;Release;MinSizeRel;RelWithDebInfo
and after the above change it's:
CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES:STRING=Debug;Release
The failure happens because our default build type is RelWithDebInfo
which of course doesn't exist.
I didn't change anything else and we don't set this variable anywhere in
our cmake files.
I guess I can go in and set this by hand, but anyone have any ideas why
it disappeared, and if this is a bug?
