Summary

0014051: Add "cmake -E script <cmake-code>"

Description

I find myself writing tiny scripts to do something that only "script mode” is capable of. For example,

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)
configure_file(${SOURCE_DIR}/LitReTemplate.cmake ${OUTPUT} @ONLY)

And then, to invoke this as a build action, I need to figure out how to properly quote ${SOURCE_DIR} et all as -D arguments on the cake command line.

I really want to be able to write

cmake -E script "configure_file(${SOURCE_DIR}/LitReTemplate.cmake ${OUTPUT} @ONLY)”

It would be so much more direct.
