[CMake] Does CMake cannot handle directory name with space?

FindBoost.cmake looks in some standard directories:

SET(_boost_INCLUDE_SEARCH_DIRS C:/boost/include C:/boost  
"$ENV{ProgramFiles}/boost" /sw/local/include )

Otherwise, you need to tell cmake where you installed Boost, how  
should cmake else know? I do

set( CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH ${CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH} path_to_boost_parent/ 
boost_1_38_0 )

FindBoost.cmake is then able to pick up the boost library.

Might be a bug in FindGTKMM.cmake since it obviously works for  
FindBoost.cmake. I assume that the first is not well tested on Win32  
platform.
