Trying to fix CMake for Mac. Does this work now?

+BUILDING ON WINDOWS:
+--------------------
+We have tested building on Windows with a statically built Qt (with its /bin directory in %PATH%)
+and MSVC 2005/2008. Make sure that you use a "shell" that has all needed env variables setup,
+such as the "Visual Studio Command Prompt". You will also need the /bin of the Microsoft SDK in
+your %PATH% at least for VS 2008, otherwise rc.exe is not found.
+Currently, only building in the shell using nmake seems to work; CMake can also create MSVC project
+files, but they seem to be problematic. However, YMMV.
+
+After you have everything setup:
+
+cd C:\path\to\quassel-build
+cmake -G"NMake Makefiles" C:\path\to\quassel\source -DSTATICWIN=1
+nmake
