If you have cmake installed, you can bootstrap newer versions of
CMake on Windows.

The 'Readme.txt' for the Windows source distribution says:
"You need to download and install a binary release of CMake in

build CMake."
Unlike UNIX/Mac, the Windows source can't be bootstrapped...
I assume the Readme.txt is accurate? Any plans to change this?
The Windows source cannot be bootstrapped if you use Visual C++
because the 'bootstrap' script is a Bourne-shell script. You may want
to try downloading Zsh from
http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/gnu/gnu-win32/release/zsh/ , then setting a few
environment variables (take a look at the bootstrap script) and
crossing your fingers.
The other path is bootstrapping it on Windows by using
mingw+msys/cygwin. You may also be able to cross-compile a
mingw-compiled binary version from OS X, Linux, etc. I have not tried
any of those options, but they should work.
