Summary:                    CMAKE fails when registry key point to a path that
use backslashs instead of slash
Description: 
When a cmake find module uses registry, if the path in the registry key uses
windows standard directory separators "\", they are not converted to "/", and
cmakes fails to expand the directory.

Steps to Reproduce: 
In a command shell:
REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\GnuWin32\Zlib /v InstallPath /d "D:\libraries\zlib" /f
REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\GnuWin32\Zlib /v InstallPath /d
"D:\libraries\zlib" /f

Use FindZLIB.
An error occurs telling Zlib was not found.
If the "\" are replaced by "/", Zlib is found.
