Once I installed the Platform SDK, I was able to do 'cmake -G "NMake 
Makefiles"' without problem.  However, I did have to delete the 
cmakecache.txt from an old run, from when things weren't working.  This 
is a minor gotcha that may be worth noting in the instructions.  
Otherwise you can get errors about various tools missing their paths and 
etc.

I have never run cmakesetup.exe, it does not appear to be necessary for 
anything so far.  I have yet to actually try to build Chicken from the 
generated makefiles.  Still busy with signature gathering, but it was 
drizzling today so I took a stab at Chicken problems.

So in summary: if you have VC++ 7.1 full licensed version correctly 
installed, *or* if you have the VC++ Toolkit and the Platform SDK 
correctly installed, then cmake should generate makefiles without problem.
