[CMake] generating GNU makefiles for MSVC

[Werner Smekal]

Hi Randal,

you could use wgcc a cross-compiler tool

http://interix-wgcc.sourceforge.net/features.html

which should allow to use the msvc compiler in cygwin. But, I have no  
experience with the Cygwin/MSVC/wgcc combination though.

Regards,
Werner
