The test also covers policy CMP0044 behavior and so cannot require
a version new enough to set that policy.  It doesn't really matter
because we never run the test suite except with the current version
of CMake anyway.

After nightly testing of the main change I added this fixup:

 fixup! Genex: Add a SHELL_PATH expression
 http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=commitdiff;h=d1912e51

which I'll squash in to the final change before merging to 'master'.
The problem is that on Windows we support the "Unix Makefiles"
generator that uses forward slashes but not MSYS-style drive letter
conversion.
