Currently there is no way for a recipe to have multiple modes for a build. That is, no debug/release or platform toolset (Windows-only).

Add ability to specify "Debug" or "Release" builds.
- Debug builds should probably also include copying .pdb files to the out/install directory (Windows). However, currently there is now way to have optional install files that only get copied if they happen to exist. Food for thought....
Add ability to specify Platform Toolset (i.e. v141 / 14.1) in recipe build script & as a version requirement.

Should tools have the ability to add new build script variables? This might be able to solve both issues.

As with the "static" build support, you can work around this by having multiple architectures, eg "x64" and "x64-Debug".

Honestly this is the best solution I can think of right now. Unless a better design is proposed we should probably cancel this ticket.
