For MS4W (a huge user-base) I've been using Cmake for GEOS for years in 
the builds for Windows users, without issues.

That said, I maintain Nmake files for many projects (as they moved to 
Cmake and suddenly Windows support breaks), so it's not always easy for 
a project to support Windows, even with Cmake (black-box) magic.

But the magic works for GEOS! ha.
