[Cmake] Cross-compiling

[William A. Hoffman]

You can generate NMake files from the CMakeSetup.  However,
the current version of cmake requires that a configure script be run
to set up the c and C++ compilers.   This can not be done from the
windows GUI without cygwin in the path.   In the next version, this
will become a bit easier as we no longer use a configure script, and
cmake supports trycompile and tryrun.     However, it will still want to
run the compiler.
