First, I have changed the subject line and got rid of the complete digest....

Second, I suggest you try some variations to help figure this out.  For
example, does your simple fortran project work for nmake and a different
fortran compiler?  Does your simple fortran project work for ifort and
a non-nmake generator? Does an equivalent C project work for nmake?

Third, the behaviour of ifort on windows is controlled by
$prefix/share/cmake-2.4/Modules/Platform/Windows-ifort.cmake .  You may want
to play with that file (and compare it with the equivalent Platform file
used in the above variations) to see what is causing the nmake problem.

Sorry these thoughts are pretty general, but they are the best help I can
give you since I don't have access to windows or nmake.

Good luck!
