The Cygwin CMake works well with cygwin tools.  You need to use the 
native windows version of CMake for other tool chains.

"Unix Makefiles" works as well.  I use gnu make from cygwin, (my 
compiled version from www.cmake.org/files/cygwin) and cl.  I have 
created a .vcvars file in bash shell that sets up my env so that cl can 
work from the command line.  I used to use nmake, but it does not 
support parallel builds.
