Summary:                    Flags specified for the compiler do not stay
together during processing.
Description: 
I want to enable code analysis in Visual Studio. To do this, you add the
following flags to the compiler:

/analyze /analyze:log output.xml

When I try to do this with the following snippet of CMake:

set(CMAKE_C_FLAGS "/analyze /analyze:log output.xml")

It mangles the arguments. Firstly, it puts quotes around the "log" part, and
secondly, the "output.xml" does not follow immediately after the "/analyze:log"
argument, which is a compile error.

I have had this working in a previous version of CMake; I think it worked in
version 2.8.9, but stopped working in (I think) 2.8.12.

Steps to Reproduce: 
Attached files reproduce the problem with Visual Studio 11 generator.

Generate Visual Studio 11 solution and try to build. You'll get a compile error
saying /analyze:log requires an argument.
