[CMake] Directing cmake to link against shared object with debug postfix (_d)

[Robert Maynard]

CMAKE_DEBUG_POSTFIX is only used by CMake when it builds libraries to
determine what exact file name the executable/library should have.

In your case you will need to do something like:

set(Libraries
    ContinuumTransfunctioner${CMAKE_DEBUG_POSTFIX}
    Transmogrifier${CMAKE_DEBUG_POSTFIX}
)

Another option would to generate proper import targets for your
libraries, as that would allow you to specify different paths for the
release and debug components.
