See my email about the VS variables and gmake version.  Also, you will 
need to set CC=cl and CXX=cl before running CMake, or when you run 
cmake-gui click on the Specify native compilers button after you select 
"Unix Makefiles".  Then put in cl for the c and C++ compiler.  The 
confusion is coming from the subject of this message.  You are not 
asking how to generate for a cygwin tool chain.  You are asking how to 
you generate for gmake from cygwin with the VS tool chain, which is a 
totally different thing that using the cygwin compiler tool chain. 
Lucky for you this is my preferred tool set.  :)
