Summary:                    Relative Value for CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE Does Not
Work Under PowerShell
Description: 
The toolchain file is not handled properly under PowerShell if the toolchain
file path is relative.

The issues (I have noticed so far):
- CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME is not set properly
- There is warnings about include with empty file name (this seems to be the
reason that at least CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME is not set correctly)

The issue is present at least in versions 3.0.0-3.0.2 (these are the version I
tested).

Steps to Reproduce: 
In PowerShell:
unzip project.zip
cd project
mkdir build
cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../../toolchain.cmake -G Ninja ..
