[CMake] using cl.exe with GNU make

[Michael Hufer]

We use cygwin, but that should be mostly the same:

-- cmd.exe (or in our case cygwin bash)
<set the variables so you can execute cl.exe from the cmd/bash shell>
$ set CC=cl.exe
$ set CXX=cl.exe
$ cmakesetup
---
in cmake setup: select build mode Unix Makefiles 
                             and build mode (Debug or Release) 
configure and create makefile(s)
---
$ cd build/dir
$ gmake install
---

PS: For some reason a multible thread build (e.g. "gmake -j2 install") does 
not work properly on Windows. It seems either gmake or the Visual Studio .NET 
2003 compiler or linker is producing rubish if more than one is invoked 
simultanously ;-(.
