Travis,

CMake has a CodeBlocks generator (-G "CodeBlocks - MinGW Makefiles") - in
fact it is used by KiCad-Winbuilder because it generates a CodeBlocks
project file and GNU Makefile. KiCad-Winbuilder just uses the Makefile
direct, but I personally tend to use CodeBlocks for code development so the
project file is there.

So big-up CMake again! :D

Best Regards, Brian.
