Summary:                    Regex metacharacters in the cmake build path causes
tests to fail
Description: 
Hello,

this issue is very closely related to bug
http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=12999. The cause is exactly the same,
but just in other (new) tests this time. See the following build log for more
details:

https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=cmake&arch=armel&ver=2.8.9-1~bpo60%2B1&stamp=1369243896

Even if the build log is of 2.8.9, I attach the patch for 2.8.11. Please note,
I'm not sure where to put RegexEscapeString.cmake, so feel free to review,
modify the patch.

As far as I can tell, a bunch of new
http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=12999 variants were introduced between
2.8.9 and 2.8.11 so in addition to those in the build log, the following tests
also fail in 2.8.11:

       243 - CTestTestMemcheckUnknown (Failed)
        244 - CTestTestMemcheckUnknownQuoted (Failed)
        248 - CTestTestMemcheckDummyValgrindFailPre (Failed)
        249 - CTestTestMemcheckDummyValgrindFailPost (Failed)
        250 - CTestTestMemcheckDummyPurify (Failed)
        251 - CTestTestMemcheckDummyBC (Failed)
        253 - CMake.List (Failed)

Steps to Reproduce: 
Build cmake in the file system path which, for example, has a plus sign in it.
