Well not entirely, because for MS backends you can pick --config Release at 
build time and for the rest you need to pick -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE at configure 
time.

Not to mention the address-model, choosing which MSBuild supports at build 
time, but CMake not only doesn't, you have to use an entirely different 
generator for 64 bit.
