[CMake] CMake extracting tar via execute_process does not allow extraction in subdirectories

[Saad Khattak]

I am using version 2.8.8. I am running Windows 7 and do not use cygwin,
only native CMake.

cd Z:/engine/src/mySDK
> cmake -E tar xvf ../mySDK.tar.gz


That works. The tar is successfully extracted to the mySDK folder. As
before, it appears it can only extract to the current directory.
