   Thanks @anko-intel. This used to work, when we relied on standard cmake 
`initial-cache` feature to handle our config: `cmake -C ../config.cmake`. 
   
   ```
   -C <initial-cache>
                 Pre-load a script to populate the cache.
   
                 When cmake is first run in an empty build tree, it creates a 
CMakeCache.txt file and populates  it  with
                 customizable  settings  for  the  project.  This option may be 
used to specify a file from which to load
                 cache entries before the first pass through the project’s 
cmake listfiles.  The loaded entries take pri‐
                 ority  over  the  project’s default values.  The given file 
should be a CMake script containing SET com‐
                 mands that use the CACHE option, not a cache-format file.
   ```
   
   But people were unhappy with the extra typing and we now load the config 
file automatically if it is present. At the time of loading, the build release 
type is already set and can't be configured anymore, so we need to remove the 
`Uncomment the following line to compile with debug information` parts from the 
config files.
