[Insight-developers] PROPOSAL: Change default build type to "Release"

[David Cole]

"Release" should be the default.

People who need debug info are smart enough to figure out how to get it...

Realize that we have no way to set "the default" for generated Visual Studio
projects or Xcode projects. Visual Studio defaults to "Debug" and Xcode, I'm
unsure of the default actually...
