Neat trick though this may be, it's small >wonder I've stuck with a policy of keeping "usual tools" together. It is very useful with VS 2005 on a multi-processor or dual core machine. VS 2005 supports parallel builds from the IDE, but nmake does not. So, if you want to build large projects fast from the command line, you need a make that will support -j N builds. gmake fits the bill. One one of the machines here the build time for cmake is 4 times faster with gmake -j 4, than with nmake or gmake.
