I pretty much doubt that, making sure a piece of software builds on
different compilers is important for _anybody_ producing some kind of
library thats being used by other software components. 

Where I work, everybody who has a win32 installation for working on our
software has at least 2 VS installations. (though we don't use cmake at
all, but our buildsystem also relies on properly setup environment)
