I think we need to wait for someone with windows experience to look at 
this as that is the primary use of the cmake build. Without that I think 
  patches 4(?), 5 and 7 are still could go forward as a separate series 
but the rest of the patches including the documentation and test changes 
need to have buy-in from their primary audience.
