Let's not point SH_EXE to the 'program files' directory. find_program() searches 'PATH' for sh. Since the Git-for-windows installer does append 'your_installation_directory'/Git/bin to the PATH variable, it should be fine.

I personally don't install my dev tools(except Visual Studio) to Program Files(because of the _space_), it messes up the Makefiles.

Thank You, Sibi Siddharthan
