Hi Artur.

You can fix the non homogeneous paths with the following commands:
FILE(TO_CMAKE_PATH path result)
FILE(TO_NATIVE_PATH path result)

all details here:
http://cmake.org/HTML/Documentation.html

Example:
SET(variable "C:\\Program Files\\Aspell/doc/html")
FILE(TO_CMAKE_PATH "${variable}" variable) # will use /

So try to put this just after the assignment of Foo_DIR:
FILE(TO_CMAKE_PATH "${Foo_DIR}" Foo_DIR)
