Why not use TO_NATIVE_PATH for that:

    *   FILE(TO_CMAKE_PATH path result)
    
    *   FILE(TO_NATIVE_PATH path result)
    * TO_CMAKE_PATH will convert path into a cmake sytle path with unix /. The input can be a single path or a system path like "$ENV{PATH}". Note the double quotes around the ENV call TO_CMAKE_PATH only takes one argument.
    * TO_NATIVE_PATH works just like TO_CMAKE_PATH, but will convert from a cmake style path into the native path style \ for windows and / for UNIX.
