It *used* to be possible to use CMake to configure/build Chicken on
Windows (presumably with the MSVC compiler as well as mingw).
I don't know why that option went away - I probably wasn't paying
attention if it was ever discussed on the chicken-users list :). (BTW,
if anyone can point me to any mailing list threads (either here or on
chicken-hackers) talking about the buildsystem changes for 2.7, I'd
appreciate it - thanks).
Anyway, if you feel like trying it out, it looks like the CMake
buildsystem is still available in the latest 2.6* release (2.637).

As far as I understand the CMake system (ie. very approximately), I
think on Windows you can use it to generate a Visual Studio "project"
file or MSVC makefile(s) - which you can then use to build Chicken
with the MS C/C++ compiler.
