[CMake] Win32 style directory names and adding dependencies to clean

[William A. Hoffman]

You may want to look at using cmake -E as the CMD.
There is a remove file, and the path input is always UNIX style.
There is no remove directory, but there is a chdir cmd.

There is no way to add to the clean target, but you can add additional
files to clean with the ADDITIONAL_MAKE_CLEAN_FILES directory property:

SET_DIRECTORY_PROPERTIES(PROPERTIES
  ADDITIONAL_MAKE_CLEAN_FILES "${ToClean_BINARY_DIR}/Registered.txt")
