Thanks for that. There's one thing I don't understand: in
UnixPath.cmake, the search paths are set to a set of hard-coded
absolute paths, as I would expect. However, in WindowsPaths.cmake,
the search paths are set to the value of $ENV{ProgramFiles} which
I assume is the value of that environment variable.
Blame windows localization for that.
%ProgramFiles% is a windows built-in environment variable. Its value
varies depending on your Windows native language and version, but I
believe it is set in the Configuration->System->Advance
Options->Environment Variables (System/All users section). The value is
set upon installation of windows.
In English, it is usually C:\Program Files. In Spanish, it may be
C:\Archivos de Programa. Etc.
It is often a problematic variable for build systems (and installers)
due to the built-in space(s) in its path, albeit cmake should be able to
work around that issue.
