[Cmake] types.h

[ebmiddlecamp at imation.com]

What I meant to say was create a file called "a/b", and put it in folder
"a".

The #include doesn't change; it's just that the Win32 compiler isn't
complying with the POSIX requirement, so one workaround is to manipulate
the file system so that the compiler finds what it is looking for..

Actually, the POSIX standard says that you have to use UNIX style slashes
in
c or c++ programs.

So, #include <a/b>
will always include file b in directory (or folder a) on both windows and
UNIX.

You can not use windows style paths in c or c++ programs for #includes.
The "\" is an escape character.  So if you include a\b, it is a file called
a[backspace], since \b is the escape code for a backspace.

Anyway, this has nothing to do with not finding sys/types.h.
