[CMake] Generating for cygwin

[Robert Dailey]

I *have* to use Cygwin, and it should invoke the VS2003 compiler. The code
is not platform agnostic and is very tied to Windows. Our legacy build
system is a series of makefile scripts & we use Cygwin to invoke those
scripts, but everything points to Windows from inside Cygwin.

Any way to make CMake build makefiles that utilize VS2003?
