MACRO(MAKE_WINDOWS_PATH pathname)
  # An extra \\ escape is necessary to get a \ through CMake's processing.
  STRING(REPLACE "/" "\\" ${pathname} "${${pathname}}")
  # Enclose with UNESCAPED quotes.  This means we need to escape our
  # quotes once here, i.e. with \"
  SET(${pathname} \"${${pathname}}\")
ENDMACRO(MAKE_WINDOWS_PATH)

SET(MYPATH "C:/Program Files/Chicken")
