Ya; that's ugly.  Have to see what the bootstrap script does....

it would be more like

x:/in/some/build/path> cmake-gui /path/to/pcl

and then configuer, and click generate ... then you can

x:/in/some/build/path> cmake --build .

which will use the 'make' appropriate for the generator you chose.
