CMake installation and usage for Windows.

Installing CMake:

Retrieve the appropriate binary from http://www.cmake.org/
Start the installer and choose a directory within your Home directory
You can choose to automatically modify the PATH Variable so you can call CMake from the command line.

Using CMake:

There are 2 options:

Use CMake from the command line if it has been added to your path. More info here: PATH
Use the CMake gui located in the bin directory within the install directory.

Configuring the Compiler Option:

With the GUI click configure and choose the compiler which has been installed on your system(Some version of Visual Studio).
With the command line pass in the right compiler using the -G option. Typing cmake without any options will also display basic help.
