CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES should default to "Debug;Release;MinSizeRel;RelWithDebInfo" for Visual Studio generators unless it was explicitly set to something else. If you aren't using a multi-config generator then CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE will be empty unless it was set by the user or the CMakeLists.txt sets a default value if empty. When building with Visual Studio the build type probably could be written to a file using a post-build rule or something like that.
