There might be problems with the express edition of VC2005. That compiler has 
not been tested during the developement of CGAL-3.4.

As far as I can see, cmake uses /MT for the express edition, whereas it is 
/MD 
for the commercial version of VC2005. I do not know why. Does VC2005 express 
edition ship the dynamic runtime?

I am pretty sure that our precompiled version of gmp and mpfr needs /MD, 
unfortunately. Try to turn /MT into /MD in the cmake variables 
CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_RELEASE and CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_DEBUG.
