[CMake] Error using cygwin with Matlab2007a installed

[Dirk Colbry]

I got a new XP computer at work so I installed some of my standard tools
(including cygwin and a new copy of MATLAB 2007a).  When I try to compile
one of my cmake projects in cygwin, I get an new error (see end of message
for error printout).  It seems that cmake is incorrectly associating an
executable (gmake.exe) in my MATLAB R2007a directory as the make program.
Fortunately, there is an easy fix, all I need to do is redirect cmake to the
correct file:

$ cmake ../ThreeDID/ -DCMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM:FILEPATH=/usr/bin/make

However, it seems odd to me that cmake would identify the MATLAB program as
the proper make program.  Can someone explain the method cmake uses to
identify the make program, and why it would pick the MATLAB program?  This
would help me determine if the error I got is a "bug" or a "feature" of
cmake.

Thank you,

Dirk
