Just some nitpicking: I'd recommend to start writing also the cmake files in 
good style, i.e. with proper indentation and consistent upper- or lower 
casing.
Also, if there are no strong reasons against it, I'd recommend to require a 
higher version of cmake, at least 2.8.0, better 2.8.3 or newer. This will give 
you more features and bug fixes, braces in if()-conditions.
Then this code would look like:

cmake_minimum_required (VERSION 2.8)
 
if(WIN32)
  set(REV_SRC reverse.cpp reverse.h)
else()
  set (REV_SRC reverse.cpp)
endif()

add_definitions(-DREVERSE_EXPORTS)
