David,

I hear what you are saying, but a lot of legacy Makefile based system support 
"make" and "make debug" alongside each other. I'm still looking for the cmake 
way to easily mark a small part of a project to be built with debug flags. For 
instance, if you have functionality in a static archive, you just link the new 
debug enabled object file against the main.o and the archive and you end up 
with some debugging symbols in no time.

Regards,
Arjen

Since this is a prevalent scheme that is widely used by folks coming from 
single-config, single-architecture (makefile based) build systems... it's the 
way CMake has gotten to the point it's at now. I'm not saying this is good or 
bad, just explaining that this is the way it is, and that there are historical 
reasons why we got to this point.
