I'm wondering if we should fix the place where that warning is emitted as
well. It seems like perhaps the variable it's complaining about is "
CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE" (with a leading space) and if we had some non-white-space
bracketing characters around the variable name, the real problem would have
been suggested more strongly by the output on the dashboard. Something like:
CMake Warning:
Manually-specified variables were not used by the project:
[ CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE]
