As far as I know cmake should work on mingw.
There is a wikipage about compiler issues, so it must work somewhere:

http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_MinGW_Compiler_Issues

This must be a problem with the way we use mingw.

Can't we rename one of those variables or something like that?

We are not the only project that uses mingw, cmake and opengl.
Here is one that claims to be functioning:

Maybe these links will help.
Good luck.
