The reason there is no output is because VCExpress does not produce any 
output no matter what happens during the build.  This will require some 
kind of work-around such as reading the build logs.  Meanwhile I think 
I've gotten things working with VCExpress 2005 in the CVS version of 
CMake.  The fixes will be included in 2.2.4.
