[CMake] CMakeSetup broken, fails in the root directory

[Dataflow]

Ok.
1. Please put the following in CMakeLists.txt:
project(test)
add_executable(test test.cpp)

2. Please put the following in 'test.cpp'
void main(){}

3. Please put both these directly in c:\ (not in a subdirectory. You can put
in d:\, e:\ etc, but in the root directory.)
4. Run CMakeSetup, specify source dir as 'c:', binary dir as 'c:\winbuild'.
5. Press Configure.
6. With 2.4, you will get the error (after compiler detection etc): "can not
find file c:test.cpp". You put it there, didn't you?! Note that there is no
\ in the file name shown.

Obviously, no one will build projects in Linux root directory, but it is
commonly done in windows ramdrive (at least by me!). The workaround of
creating a sub directory in ramdrive works, but is simply painful to do
every time and easy to forget. Besides, this worked smoothly earlier.

Thanks for the great tool!
