[CMake] Generating for cygwin

[Robert Dailey]

Thanks for the info guys but none of this really helps me out, especially
the links to the CDash stuff. I don't even really know what I'm looking for.

What generator do I need to use when I run cmake in cygwin? Isn't that all
I need? Won't CMake automatically pick up the MSVC compiler, even if it is
inside Cygwin? I have MSVC 7.1, 8, and 9 on my system. The other thing I'm
not sure of is how to tell CMake in Cygwin which MSVC compiler to use. If I
need to setup environment variables, how do I know which ones CMake will be
looking for and what the values should be?
