That patch uses GNU Make but invoking the MSVC compiler, linker, etc
instead of the GNU compiler, linker, etc. It'd be the same if you
wanted to use the Intel compiler, the Sun compiler, etc.

CMake is also useful to create installers/tarballs (see CPack), run
tests (see CTest; it's NOT a unit test library but a tests launcher on
steroids) and submit the results of compilation, tests and
installation to a dashboard where you can easily see what (if
anything) went wrong (see CDash, formerly Dart).
