Summary:                    Using CMake-Gui to run generate for Windows followed
by generate for Unix generates incorrect Unix makefiles
Description: 
Running a generator that uses the Windows Shell, and then running a generator
that uses the Unix shell without exiting Cmake-gui first, causes the Unix
makefiles to have the wrong shell command (SHELL = cmd.exe) and Windows path
names (with ‘\’s instead of ‘/’s).




Steps to Reproduce: 
1. Start cmake-gui
2. Select a project that uses the Visual Studio 2015 generator and run generate
3. Select a project that uses the CDT4 – Unix makefiles and run generate

Additional Information: 
Assumed cause (based on cmake-3.4.3 source distribution) :

The selection of shell seems to be based on the variable cmState::windowsShell
This variable is set to false in the cmState constructor, 
and is set to true (through a call to member SetWindowsShell(true) from all
generators that use a Windows shell.
But I could find no code that resets it if a non-Windows-Shell generator is run
at a later time
