Summary:                    link_directories produce backslash path for mingw
Description: 
The link_directories command produce backslash path which does not work in the
mingw+ninja environment. All the others path (e.g. include path) are
forward-slash, it seems the link_directories path has been forgotten.

Steps to Reproduce: 
1. add the link_directories command to the CMakeLists.txt
2. use Ninja generator and MinGW compiler (from mingw64 project)
3. the gcc compiler complain can not find the specified library (for ex.
c:/qt/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/i686-w64-mingw32/4.7.2/../../../../i686-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.exe:
cannot find -lraw_r)
