Hm, could that be the problem? I noticed that CMake is indeed reacting
differently if -G is set differently:

- No -G option: CMake recognised the MS Visual C/C++ compiler as
   the C compiler on my system, and both MSYS and MINGW were unset.
   (This answers Werner's suggestion)

- -G "Unix Makefiles" caused it to recognise the MSYS/MinGW installation
   of gcc and set MINGW to 1.

It is worth a try, indeed!

Thanks,

Arjen
