Summary:                    CMake incorrectly handles path to gfortran compiler
containing spaces
Description: 
I use cmake_add_fortran_subdirectory to build a Fortran subproject with MinGW
gfortran as described in http://www.kitware.com/blog/home/post/231. 64-bit build
of MinGW obtained from http://mingw-w64.sourceforge.net/ is installed in the
default location "C:\Program
Files\mingw-builds\x64-4.8.1-posix-seh-rev5\mingw64". CMake correctly generates
Visual Studio solution and project files, but when running the build the
following error is reported:

CUSTOMBUILD : CMake error : your Fortran compiler: "C:/Program" was not found.  
Please set CMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER to a valid compiler path or name.
[C:\fortran-test\SUB1_build.vcxproj]
CUSTOMBUILD : CMake error : Internal CMake error, TryCompile configure of cmake
failed [C:\fortran-test\SUB1_build.vcxproj]
  -- Check for working Fortran compiler: C:/Program  -- broken

See the attached log for the full output.

It seems that CMake is confused by space in the compiler path.

Steps to Reproduce: 
1. Install MinGW from http://mingw-w64.sourceforge.net/ in "C:\Program Files".

2. Get a copy of the test repository:

  git clone https://github.com/vitaut/fortran-test

3. Generate Visual Studio solution and project files:

  cmake -G "Visual Studio 10 Win64" .

4. Try building the solution:

  msbuild TEST.sln

5. Observe the error.
