Yes, this is my preferred generator.  I used cygwin gmake, but this one:

The one that comes with cygwin can not handle c:/ paths that VS requires.

You have to make sure the environment is setup for cl to work.  If you 
open a cl windows shell and dump the env you can see all the stuff that 
needs to be set.  I convert all that and put it in my .bashrc.
