I have used CMake 2.6  to generate VC6, VC2003 and VC2005 projects.
Use the CMake GUI to do this. You will probably have to delete your
CMakeCache.txt.

BTW, what I do is use CVS and have a separate sandbox for each
compiler. CMakeCache.txt or any generated files are not in the CVS
repository. This works well and I use the same code for 3 versions of
32 bit VC + 64 bit linux.
