Ah, I hadn't noticed, all those (including CGAL_NDEBUG) are not meant as 
cmake variables (cmake is the root of all evil), they are preprocessor 
variables, so you should add -DCGAL_NO_ASSERTIONS to CXXFLAGS or something 
like that.

CMake has RelWithDebInfo as an alternative to Release or Debug. Don't
know how well that works for CGAL... And nothing prevents you from
adding -DNDEBUG in debug mode.
