[CMake] cmake generates broken project file when path includes whitespace (in this case at least)

[Ajay Panyala]

Did you try playing around with:

file(TO_CMAKE_PATH path result)
file(TO_NATIVE_PATH path result)

I did try file(TO_NATIVE_PATH path result) at the time, but it was not
useful in my case.
The result is still a unix style path (maybe because I am using Cygwin)

Thanks
Ajay
