You can use it the generate solution files for Visual Studio.

Not really. CMake is used in all platforms to "configure" the library 
for compilation with whatever native build tools are going to be used, 
such as Visual Studio in Windows, or g++/make in linux/cygwin.

Everthing you need to know is in the Installation manual:

http://www.cgal.org/Manual/3.4/doc_html/installation_manual/contents.html

if there is anything you can't find in the manual feel free to ask here.
