[Cmake] Building cmake with MSYS and mingw

[John Fletcher]

Hello

I am trying to build the package cmake ( see 
http://www.cmake.org/HTML/Index.html ) using Mingw 2 and 
MSYS.  The package uses ./configure and this fails.  This is 
because it has a define for CYGWIN but not one for MSYS, and it 
therefore thinks it is in a Linux environment, not a Win32 one.

Questions.

1. Is there something defined specifically for the MSYS 
environment and if so what is it?

2. What is it that is different between MSYS and CYGWIN so that I 
can change the cmake code to compile with MSYS?

I am sending this to both MSYS and Cmake lists.

Thank you

John Fletcher
