That is just replacing use of the cmake installed under /mingw64 with that
supplied for windows. This should work fine for most uses,
but sometimes cmake really wants to be started from the tools' same tree
- it may no longer be an issue, but was for me once before,
in an earlier cmake version.
If you want to spend the time, building cmake from the bootstrap script
should work - and if it doesn't,
it might show you what may be wrong about your MSYS/mingw installation.
