[CMake] Cygwin drive paths are killing me

[J Decker]

Oh; I seee; you are using a cmake that came with cygwin; use instead a
standalone cmake... the only other thing that would be required from MinGW
would be 'make' (maybe some things like 'rm' but probably not since cmake
has its own way of deleting files....  you can probably find Make 3.81
ported for windows standalone since it doesn't require a posix system to
work.
