I'm glad to see there is some interest in using CMake to build on windows.  
Using CMake has made working on Windows easier for me (thank you Patrick!)...  
somewhere on webkit.org there's a page about ideas for making life on windows 
easier and I think the CMake build system addresses a number of the concerns.

Patrick uploaded a patch (https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72816) that 
uses a strategy of separate CMake platforms for the Apple Windows build, for 
Windows Cairo, and for Windows CE.  I think there's a lot of duplication in 
having 3 separate CMake platforms for Windows builds.

I put another patch out there which creates a single PlatformWin.  Build 
switches passed to CMake then generate the platform you want (Apple, WinCairo - 
in the future WinCE).  I'm curious for those who are interested in CMake for 
Windows builds which approach they think makes more sense.  Duplication but 
full isolation or no duplication but more opportunity to collide.  Both patches 
are still works in progress.
