[CMake] Fwd: Problems setting CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES for Visual Studio

[gaga bla]

Hello Eric,
thanks for your reply, i tried this, but in my case it doesn't work. I made
a function that first sets the configuration types (using your line of
code) and then calls the project function. Using this function instead of
the project function itself, still all configurations are beeing generated.
I browsed through the cmake sources and modules, but i coudn't find the
place that reintroduces those configurations.
It looks like a bug to me, later on i will try to produce an example.

Kind regards
Janosch
