I've seen several reports of CMake hanging during try-compiles with
Visual Studio 6.  I think it is VS that hangs and CMake just blocks
waiting for VS to exit, but I've never been able to reproduce it.

Make sure you have installed the latest service pack for VS 6 (sp5 or
sp6 is the latest I think).  Also, do you have at least 512MB main
memory in the machine?

If the problem still occurs then I'd appreciate help in tracking down
what exactly is happening.  This would mean getting the source to CMake
and building a copy with debugging enabled.  If you're willing to try
this I can give you further instructions.
