A lot of developers seem to be in need of configuration-specific custom build commands. Is it in the bug tracker already? I am copying the files for each configuration in the cmake run now, but that obviously isn't conservative enough. I am going to try and use install commands now, which do support configuration-specific settings. But I don't like having to build the install target to be able to debug either, this should really be in a post-build command. I also don't really like the method you are describing (creating a post-build script that takes the configuration into account), because I think it would be too Visual Studio-specific. But anyway, I think the install method is the closest, and as someone suggested in another thread, you can always run the install cmake script as post-build command.
