Summary:                    Result of IF(<LIST>) is inconsistent
Description: 
This is a spin-off of issue http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=9043 (see
towards the bottom of the
comments).

IF(<LIST>) produces inconsistent results. See the output of CMake when run
on the following CMakeLists.txt file:

$ cat ../CMakeLists.txt
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.6)
project(List NONE)
set(a "NOTFOUND")
set(b "blub-NOTFOUND")
set(c "bar;blub-NOTFOUND")
set(d "blub-NOTFOUND;bar")
foreach(x a b c d)
  if("${x}")
    set(val TRUE)
  else()
    set(val FALSE)
  endif()
  message(STATUS "${x} -> ${val}")
endforeach()

$ cmake ..
-- a -> FALSE
-- b -> FALSE
-- c -> FALSE
-- d -> TRUE
-- Configuring done
-- Generating done
-- Build files have been written to: /tmp/loose/cmake/list/build

IMO d should also evaluate to FALSE.
