Well, for one you don't need separate set_source_files_properties commands for 
every single file (that is, if the flags are the same):

if(CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE STREQUAL Release)  # notice the capitalization!
  set_source_files_properties(File1 File2 File3 PROPERTIES
    COMPILE_FLAGS ...)
elseif(CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE STREQUAL Debug) # notice the capitalization!
  set_source_files_properties(File1 File2 File3 PROPERTIES
    COMPILE_FLAGS ...)
endif()

However: such a scheme will break with multi-configuration IDEs since 
CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE is not known when CMake runs because the user can choose the 
configuration in the IDE afterwards. Unfortunately there are no 
COMPILE_FLAGS_<CONFIG> properties...

I think that currently the only reliable way of doing this is to split the 
special sources out into a separate directory and compile them there as a 
static library.
