[Cmake] How do you get Cmake to work with MinGW?

[Eric Wing]

Hi, I finally got it to work, though I don't know how.
(Maybe one of the windows reboots helped.) I did
install Msys, however, I discovered that CMakeSetup
will work without Msys (launched through more
conventional methods like Explorer).

However, the Makefiles that were created needed to be
used through Msys, which leads me to my next question.
What is it that makes Msys required for MinGW for
Cmake? I've seen some MinGW based projects that could
be built on the Windows command shell without the need
of anything like Msys or Cygwin. (MAME comes to mind.)
Since CMake can already handle other Windows build
systems, to my uninformed mind, it seems like CMake
should be really close to not needing stuff like Msys.

Thanks
