"MSBuild is the new build system for Microsoft and Visual Studio"

it's basically a proprietary xml-based makefile-replacement for
the Microsoft-World.

If you have Visual Studio >= 2005 (or express) installed, open
the visual studio command line and type

The Visual Studio >= 2005 IDE uses msbuild as it's "build engine",
so if you build a visual studio project from cmake, you can use
the msbuild tool for command line compilation (for example from
<insert your favorite editor here>).
