[CMake] Expected boost path structure.

[Verweij, Arjen]

Just to make sure:

set BOOST_ROOT=X:\32bit\VC.90\Libraries\boost-1.45.0

Won't work? Or setting it to this value in the Computer > Properties > Environment variables section?

I thought cmake worked fine with the path separator that is native to the OS. Would be strange if it didn't.
