Content of ``...`` converted to shell path style. For example, slashes are
converted to backslashes in Windows shells and drive letters are converted
to posix paths in MSYS shells. The ``...`` must be an absolute path.
+ The ``...`` may be a :ref:`semicolon-separated list <CMake Language Lists>`
+ of paths, in which case each path is converted individually and a result
+ list is generated using the shell path separator (``:`` on POSIX and
+ ``;`` on Windows). Be sure to enclose the argument containing this genex
