Summary:                    There is no way to specify ] in [ ] list in regular
expressions
Description: 
I've tried to compile regular expression matches any string, ends with 
set of symbols, including right square bracket (']', '}' and ')', for
example). I've found no way to do that simple thing.

If I specify ".*[\]})]" cmake prints error:
Syntax error in cmake code at /home/dimm/test/test.cmake:3 when parsing
string 
.*[\]})] Invalid escape sequence \]

If I use ".*[\\]})]" it thinks I want to match a string ends with "\})]" 
sequence.
