There are those in the CMake community that successfully combine "unix makefiles" with the Visual Studio Compilers to perform parallel builds.

http://www.cmake.org/pipermail/cmake/2008-June/022178.html is one of the relevant threads.

Here is another thread that has some important information about exactly what versions of gmake and others to use.

Hope some of that helps

Further, I have to note that command-line VS builds should be
supported for one simple reason: nmake does not support parallel
builds and probably never will. This makes VS the easiest way of
running a parallel build on Windows (locally or distributed with
additional tools). GNU make from MSYS is out of the question
because MSYS seems far from production-grade.
