Summary:                    CMake fails with OpenWatcom in default install
location
Description: 
A fix was committed for this issue but I don't think it works:
http://www.cmake.org/Bug/view.php?id=12548

Recap: The OpenWatcom compiler fails to compile any configure checks if CMake is
installed in the default location on Windows (C:\Program Files (x86)\CMake)
because of the parentheses (or maybe the spaces).

I'm still seeing the problem in CMake 3.1-rc2 on Windows 8 (64-bit).  The
problem goes away if I install CMake in a path without spaces/parentheses.

Steps to Reproduce: 
Configure a project with Watcom Generator.

Notice 'Detecting C compiler ABI info' fail.
