Complete success!!! Plugin compiled, linked and loaded :-) . What was 
missing were the linker flags:

set_target_properties(
	TestTexturePlugin PROPERTIES SUFFIX ".mll" LINK_FLAGS 
"/subsystem:windows /dll /incremental:yes /debug /machine:I386 
/export:initializePlugin /export:uninitializePlugin"
)

I'm posting my entire CMakeLists.txt file for posterity.

Thanks again to everyone. I'll be focusing on the actual migration to 
eclipse bit next, and probably write a small "how to" when its all done.
