[CMake] Does "cmake.exe" expect a shell?

Hi,

in kdevelop4 we're running cmake to prepare a builddirectory from a source
dir. This worked just fine on linux, however we're running into a problem
when executing on Windows for the NMake-Generator.

It seems this generator absolutely needs a shell (i.e. cmd.exe) as its
environment and its not enough to simply start kdevelop from the C++
development console. 

Does cmake.exe have an explicit check for a real cmd.exe shell on windows?
(I don't have access to cmake sources right now)

Andreas
