Why do you think this is fragile? Its AFAIK the documented way (documented
by MS) to use the Visual Studio command line tools, so shouldn't be a
surprise to have to run cmake inside that environment (as cmake wants to
use the commandline tools from VS).

CMake expects compiler, linker, (n)make and Co to be available in the
environment from which you run cmake on _every_ platform it works on.
