Well, I imagine we could have a shim that will automatically create
sub-build directories when you specify a CONFIGURATION=... argument or
just starts the build in there.
And if a build folder is missing but the configuration is declared, it
would run CMake with similar startup arguments.
In practice, it would be the same generator, with some extra logic in
the main Makefile.

New to this list, so apologies if it's been discussed before.
I'd like to know why it's not possible to have both debug and release mode
builds configured at the same time for Unix makefiles?
You can have an arbitrary number of configurations at once, all nicely separated
from each other in their own build directory. Nobody stops you from having
several build directories after all.
I am aware that some generators (eg VisualStudio) do allow this behaviour.
Why can I not have the same behaviour with Unix makefiles?
IMHO VisualStudio is rather broken in that regard. Please do not let the
insanity pass over to Makefiles! :-)
