Summary:                    exec_program and execute_process don't capture
output when it does not end in a newline
Description: 
When trying to capture output of a process, if the stream does not end in a new
line, these commands cannot capture the output.

Steps to Reproduce: 
The following batch script shows the problem nicely

 
MESSAGE(STATUS "Outputting captured newline")
EXEC_PROGRAM(printf ARGS "\"output is shown\\n\"")

MESSAGE(STATUS "Outputting without newline")
EXEC_PROGRAM(printf ARGS "\"output is not shown\"")
