Another interesting way to approach this would be to use external 
project, and use a Visual Studio IDE generator to build the nmake 
environment.   It is not cmake based, but I have done this with Qt and 
it works great.  When the IDE builds the external project the 
environment is all setup, and you can build from any command line or 
from a GUI with no environment set.
