[cmake-developers] Weird behavior with spaces in ctest_configure

I found this in one of my dashboards:

CMake Warning:
  Manually-specified variables were not used by the project:

     CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE

This was sort of a WTF as you may guess. I played around with it and found 
that this was caused by this instruction:

ctest_configure(
		OPTIONS "-D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug"
)

If I remove the space between the -D and the rest everything works fine. What 
is up there? This is a bug, the question is: a documentation one or a code 
one?
