Adding extra CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE?

[mathomp4]

A query for the "canonical" ecbuild. We (in GEOS) have a fork of ecbuild that we use in our project. Recently I had to patch our fork because I wanted to add a new CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE and it wasn't one of the allowed types by ecbuild:

ecbuild/cmake/ecbuild_define_build_types.cmake

Lines 51 to 59 in d4347cf

	# fail if build type is not one of the defined ones
	if( NOT CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE MATCHES "None" AND
	NOT CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE MATCHES "Debug" AND
	NOT CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE MATCHES "Bit" AND
	NOT CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE MATCHES "Production" AND
	NOT CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE MATCHES "Release" AND
	NOT CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE MATCHES "RelWithDebInfo" )
	ecbuild_critical( "CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE is not recognized. ${_BUILD_TYPE_MSG}" )
	endif()

My question is: is there a better way to do this? I added Aggressive as I was adding "aggressive" flags, but say someone wanted to use the more "official" MinSizeRel (which is in the CMake source). As far as I can tell, they couldn't with ecbuild.

@tlmquintino Just a ping. Do you have a good method of a way to "add" additional CMAKE_BUILD_TYPES to an ecbuild system (extra functions, toolchains, etc.)?
