No.  The suffixes are only added after values found in CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH
and similar variables, not to every path given.

The BZIP2_NEED_PREFIX check generates a CMakeLists.txt file that
refers to the raw path given without re-escaping the backslashes.
Then the check fails to configure due to the backslashes being
interpreted as invalid CMake escape sequences.
