You should create the programs with '-G "Visual Studio 9 2008"' to get a MSVC 
solution file. Load that one and just let it build.

You could open a compiler console (Start -> Programs -> Microsoft Visual 
Studio 2008 -> Tools -> x86 command prompt (or something like that)) and use 
'-G "NMake Makefiles"'. Then you would run "nmake" from that command window to 
build. You need to run cmake in that window or it will not be able to detect 
the proper compiler settings for nmake otherwise.
