[CMake] Visual C++ 2005 Express - command line?

[dean.inglis at camris.ca]

Hi,

I searched through the CMake archives 
but did not find anything immediately obvious.
I have downloaded the free MS Visual Studio 8 
(MS Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition) along
with the MS SDK for Windows 2000.  The Cmake
cache shows 
//make program
CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM:FILEPATH=C:/PROGRA~1/MICROS~2/Common7/IDE/VCExpress.exe

running VCExpress.exe from a cygwin bash
shell prompt while in my build directory for
VTK initiates the GUI IDE for VC++. After
years of using Borland, I was hoping to compile
directly from the command line with VC++.  Trying
nmake gives a "fatal error U1064: Makefile
not found and no target specified".  

Is there a way to build VTK (and all other CMake managed
projects) by command line with this build env.?
Although I can build VTK within the IDE, I'm
not clear how this will work with a nightly 
experimental dashboard (usually scripted).
