Summary0014694: Percent symbol (%) in path creates bad autogenerated paths
DescriptionWhen there is a percentage symbol (%) in the cmake file path, cmake creates bad file paths to autogenerated .stamp and .sln files. The path to these files seems to have concatenated a copy of itself. In visual studio 11, it reports these errors in the CUSTOMBUILD step for both the ZEROCHECK and user projects.
Steps To Reproduce1. Create a folder with a % in it
2. Create a .c file with a simple main function
3. Create a CMakeLists.txt file with an executable to a the .c file above
4. Run cmake for Visual Studio 11
5. Build all

As pointed out here:

 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.programming.tools.cmake.devel/9079/focus=9081 [^]

the solution will require encoding % as %25. However, this will need to be done with care because outside of file paths % needs to be left as %.
