You can do the same thing on windows.  You can either run cmakesetup 
from a command line, or you can set CC and CXX in the system variables 
for the user.  I think there is also a way to modify visual studio IDE 
so that it will use the intel compiler by default.  In that case you can 
just use the ide generator in cmake to create project files that will 
use icc.
