I have never seen or heard of the problem you are having with VS 2003.

But user32.lib is not part of any extended sdk.   It is part of the core 
windows sdk, and comes
with VS .NET 2003.   Anyway, sounds like you have a bad installation for some 
reason.
It is not the norm for VS .NET 2003.  However, the express version does not 
install the SDK,
it is a separate step, and often times people do not follow that extra step.  
So, the express
version has this problem often, but it is not a CMake problem.
