Summary

0015104: ExternalProject_Add cannot pass strings containing quotes to command line

Description

it is impossible to send a command such as b2.exe cxxflags="/MT" to the command line.

If the quotes are escaped with \" then the '\"' will pass through to the command line instead of the expected '"'.

The workaround is to write the commands to a file where the \" works correctly and then call that file as the command.
