Summary:                    Metachars should be escaped before embedding paths
into the regex
Description: 
${CMake_SOURCE_DIR} and ${CMake_BINARY_DIR} cannot be embedded into regex
directly. If they contain special regex metacharacters like +, the regex
will break. This could be fixed by escaping such metacharacters with a backslash
before embedding the path into the regex (patch attached). Maybe it's even worth
adding a subroutine to STRING command which does escaping, isn't it?

The issue affects the following tests: CTestTestConfigFileInBuildDir1 and
CTestTestConfigFileInBuildDir2.
