[CMake] CMake not honoring ENV variable with MSYS

[Mike Jackson]

 From some experimentation and some anecdotal evidence on the internet 
it would seem that environment variables need to be ALL CAPITALS or MSYS 
will NOT pick them up. Odd.

And in fact changing MXADataModel_INSTALL to MXADATAMODEL_INSTALL in the 
"My Computer" settings and in my .bash_profile allows the proper over 
ride when I am using msys.

Odd.

Thanks for the help
Mike
