[CMake] CMake CVS MinGW generator fails

[Brandon J. Van Every]

I've built CMake 2.3-20060213 from CVS using VS7.1.  Installation looks 
ok.  I am now trying to build Chicken using MinGW / MSYS.  After I 
select "MinGW Makefiles" I get the following error:

The C compiler "e:/Dev-Cpp/bin/gcc.exe" is not able to compile a simple 
test program.
It fails with the following output:
"e:\Program Files\CMakeCVS\bin\cmake.exe" 
-HE:\devel\mingw\chicken-2.216\CMakeFiles\CMakeTmp 
-BE:\devel\mingw\chicken-2.216\CMakeFiles\CMakeTmp --check-build-system 
CMakeFiles\Makefile.cmake 0
CMake Error: The source directory 
"E:develmingwchicken-2.216CMakeFilesCMakeTmp" does not exist.
Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI.
mingw32-make.exe: *** [cmake_check_build_system] Error -2

CMake will not be able to correctly generate this project.

(Press Cancel to suppress any further messages.)


So, backwards slashes are being elided for mysterious reasons.  This 
error does not occur when I generate "Unix Makefiles."

BTW, the error comes up in a dialog box that I cannot copy the text 
from.  I had to transcribe all this by hand.  It would be nice if you 
used error dialogs that users can copy the text from.
