Hi,

I would like to contribute a fix regarding directory tokens (e.g. <SOURCE_DIR>) 
in the ExternalProject module. These tokens are replaced by their matching 
target property value _EP_${dir}. However, the path substitutes are not 
converted to native path style which makes it impossible to use directory 
tokens in some Windows commands like pushd, as these commands are not able to 
handle forward slashes. I attached a tiny patch which simply calls 
file(TO_NATIVE_PATH) before replacing directory tokens.

Best regards,
Stefan Kislinskiy
