[CMake] VC2010 Express + CMake = fails

[David Cole]

CMake does use env vars PATH, LIB and INCLUDE when detecting executables, libraries and header files. If your env is set up on a machine-wide basis for vs 2003, it would not surprise me if some things were found inconsistently when attempting to build for vs 10...
