Summary:                    CMake does not escape strings when generating
CPackConfig.cmake
Description: 
On Windows, the NSIS install generator needs native path separators. It just
removes "/" entirely. So i used file(TO_NATIVE_PATH) to convert my paths, but
got a CMake parser on package generation error as a result.

The reason for this is, that cmake does not escape the strings it writes into
the generated CPackConfig.cmake, so it contains things like

SET(CPACK_PACKAGE_EXECUTABLES "bin\64bit\binary;Binary")

where it should be

SET(CPACK_PACKAGE_EXECUTABLES "bin\\64bit\\binary;Binary")


This propably applies to all variables it writes there.
