There's one final bug which wasn't fixed in the update 2 CTP at least 
(https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/808469) which 
hopefully is fixed in the final version of the update.

Also, cmake isn't necessary to build it - one can easily use the current 
configure script (which already supports ICL) with a few minor 
modifications.

I'll post my version of patches for MSVC support for reference.
