Error reporting under Windows fails in command mode

In a Windows command line, try:

cmake -E rename this_file_does_not_exist something_else

Your error response will be:

Error renaming from "this_file_does_not_exist" to "something_else": No error

Obviously the correct error would be that the source file does not exist.

This behaviour seems to stem from the use of errno under Windows in the function cmSystemTools::GetLastSystemError. While errno exists, it is apparently not reliable in returning the actual error. GetLastError() should probably be checked instead/as well.
