With cmake 2.6 there is a GUI also for Linux ("cmake-gui") which also asks you
which generator to use.

No, this is not possible. Once cmake would have reached that command, the
generator would be already created, so it would be too late.
I'm not quite sure, maybe you can check CMAKE_GENERATOR for the current
generator and fail if it's not the one you want. But I wouldn't recommend
this, it should be up to the user to decide which generator to use.
