[Cmake] CMake on cygwin with space in path

Hi All,

Because of autoconf limitation you cannot bootstrap CMake in directory
with space. This limitation however can be overcome on cygwin by using
short paths.

For example, on VALHALLA, all dashboards are in directory:
c:/My Dashboards

So, instead of doing:

cd "c:/My Dashboards/CMake-bin"
../CMake/configure

I do:

cd c:/MyDash~1/CMake-bin
../CMake/configure

After that, you can use regular paths, since CMake "knows" path with
spaces.
