Hmm, for every VisualStudio (even Express version), you have a menu item in 
the start menu to get the right environment. The same is available from within 
the VS IDE. The Platform SDK needs some work for the VisualStudio 8 (Express 
version only) but a step-by-step manual is available from Microsoft. Since VS 
Express 9, this is fully integrated.

So where is this fragile? The downside is that you have to start cmake-gui 
from such a shell but that can be solved with a small custom batch file for 
each VisualStudio environment.
