Thanks. That's what I did.

Here the wrapper I have written:

  # Wrapper around 'configure_file'
  # _in_: the input file
  # _out_ the output file
  # OPTIONS: the list of options to give to 'configure_file'.
  # VARIABLES: the list of variables to convert. The result is stored in a
  #            variable suffixed by '_in'. Use this variable in your template.
  function(configure_file_with_native_paths in out)

    parse_arguments(
      ${in}
      "OPTIONS;VARIABLES;"
      ""
      ${ARGN})

    foreach(var ${${in}_VARIABLES})
      string(REPLACE "/" "\\" ${var}_in "${${var}}")
    endforeach(var)

    configure_file(${in} ${out} ${${in}_OPTIONS})
  endfunction(configure_file_with_native_paths)

Cheers,

Nico
