Hi Alan,

Hmm, I didn't specify a generator explicitly. Just let Cmake decide, it 
choose UNIX Makefiles normally.

The only other generator available is KDevelop3, so I think there is not 
much choice here.

Yes, I was just thinking about doing some tests here - but cygwin hasn't 
updated cmake to 2.4.4 so far, so I think this has to wait a little.
