They do that for 'convenience' (although whose convenience is beyond me), not because it's anywhere near necessary. I've never used those build scripts for either Linux or cross-compiled MinGW builds - there's virtually no difference in how to configure CMake, which is all those scripts even do anyway - they're not actual Makefiles or MSVC solutions, only .sh and .bat scripts to tell CMake to use the Makefiles or Visual Studio generators.

The only thing that presents an actual need to configure them differently is that MinGW requires specifying a cross-compiling toolchain file - and that's only necessary when actually cross-compiling (read: Linux, OS X, or Cygwin, not MSys2).
