Looks like you misunderstood me :)

I don't want to have cmake for every 3rdparty lib. I just want to have a proper and unique (for msvc and mingw) buildsystem for every lib to be able to compile this lib with both compilers if needed
For C libs it's an easy task as we can create combined packages. But for C++ ones you can't do that and therefore using msys for such a lib is not usefull.
I did not saw the cfitsio is c-only (but openbabel is not, is it?). But you forgot to create the import libs - I'll do that for you for this lib.
