Re: looking for a working 2.0.1 Windows build

Yes, cmake is difficult to handle sometimes. But some people (like me) 
never create visual studio solutions, because we don't own VS. WinSDK + 
cmake (NMake target) is totally Ok for me.
Cmake is here, it does its job, just needs a few fixes.
I do not really like the idea of a permanent windows branch (if that was 
what Piotr was saying). I am ok with a windows branch collecting 
everything for merge into master.
