These instructions are in INSTALL-CMake.txt, in current tarball distributions.
We're very near to having a unified tarball distribution that allows both the GNU Autoconf or the CMake build to be used. I would say we'll have the capability within a week. Then it will be up to Felix when he wants to make his next tarball release.
CMake is definitely what you want if you're doing MinGW. CMake is working for John Cowan on Cygwin as well; he tests it regularly. I may start recommending the CMake build for MSVC users. I will already recommend it for Visual Studio users, if you want to see the build layout from within Visual Studio. There are no .sln files in the standard tarball distribution; only CMake can generate them.
