Here's the complete list, from cmake --help:

    The following generators are available on this platform:
       Unix Makefiles               = Generates standard UNIX makefiles.
       Ninja                        = Generates build.ninja files.
       Watcom WMake                 = Generates Watcom WMake makefiles.
       CodeBlocks - Ninja           = Generates CodeBlocks project files.
       CodeBlocks - Unix Makefiles  = Generates CodeBlocks project files.
       CodeLite - Ninja             = Generates CodeLite project files.
       CodeLite - Unix Makefiles    = Generates CodeLite project files.
       Sublime Text 2 - Ninja       = Generates Sublime Text 2 project
    files.
       Sublime Text 2 - Unix Makefiles
                                    = Generates Sublime Text 2 project
    files.
       Kate - Ninja                 = Generates Kate project files.
       Kate - Unix Makefiles        = Generates Kate project files.
       Eclipse CDT4 - Ninja         = Generates Eclipse CDT 4.0 project
    files.
       Eclipse CDT4 - Unix Makefiles= Generates Eclipse CDT 4.0 project
    files.

All but one of them contain one of the strings, "Unix Makefiles" or 
"Ninja". In each of these cases, they generate the Makefiles (or ninja 
files respectively), but also generate the appropriate project files, 
eg. .project and .cproject for Eclipse.

A user can set their OECMAKE_GENERATOR to any one of these strings, 
except "Watcom WMake".
