I don't think that's a good idea.

The Debug libraries are supposed to be non-redistributable. (At least that used to be true... is it still true?) To Debug a VS-built project, you have to run it on a machine with VS installed, so there's not a compelling need to "install" the debug libraries anyway.

The capability is in there if you *must* have an install tree with Debug libraries in it for some reason, but it's not supposed to be the norm, and I don't think we should make it easy to do.

If you're going to go against the license terms, you should have to do it explicitly in your own code... not as a side effect of a default behavior that CMake provides.


Just my opinion,
David C.
