[CMake] windows paths...

hi all,

this is driving me a bit crazy and I'm sure someone on here has encountered this before.

our build system is based on environment variables.

the paths in the environment variables looks something like this:
S:\software\...

When I feed that into cmake, I get errors like:
syntax error, unexpected cal_ERROR, ..... when parsing string "S:\software..."

and "CMake Error: Invalid escape sequence \s"

So, there must be a good way around this.  I think my options are:

1. change all the environment variables to things like: "S:/software/..."
2. change the environment variables to: "S:\\software\\"

Neither of which will work in all circumstances (i.e. I think i'm going to have to hack around it no matter how I do it in some circumstances.)

Thoughts?
