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,
