[Cmake] Generating gnu Makefiles compiling under MSVC

[Paul Smyth]

I haven't managed to find anything under Google, so here goes:

Gnu make supports parallel make, while nmake doesn't, so gnu make might be a
preferable choice for batch building on a multiprocessor box. I was
wondering how much work it would be for me (or someone else) to make a
configuration for CMakeSetup under windows that generated gnu Makefiles
which invoked MSVC, given that gnu makefiles can be generated under
Cygwin/Windows, albeit compiling with gcc.

Is this a bonkers thing to want? Has it already been done and I haven't
noticed?

Thanks, Paul Smyth.
