[CMake] Bug fix requests for the *next* release of CMake...

[ycollette.nospam at free.fr]

And this one maybe: http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=12367

It should be nice to have this one corrected, for the aesthetic of the NSIS installer :)

Best regards,

YC

My personal issues are:
http://www.cmake.org/Bug/view.php?id=10994
and connected to it: http://www.cmake.org/Bug/view.php?id=11153
The handling of the windows drive root is not consistent/wrong, which
leads to both errors. I checked yesterday but the patches I added in
10994 do lead to an endless loop in 11153. I will try to come up with a
better patch in the coming days.

regards,
Patrick
