Thanks for the reply Yngve. I wasn't clear: I need to specify the paths
in the environment, not the CMakeLists.txt file. I use mostly *nix too,
so adding Win-specific bits to the CMakeLists.txt isn't acceptable.

I'm guessing on the *nix buildslaves I would have env vars:

   CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/include:/usr/myfunkylib/include
   CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib:/usr/myfunkylib/lib

using colons as separators rather than semicolons as on Windows.

Right? Or not? Should I be using one or the other for both types of
environment, since CMake is xplat? Or is my approach entirely wrong? I
would like to use CMAKE_*_PATH since those are included automatically
and I'm a lazy developer. ;)
