Summary:                    CMake should not concatenate commands for cmd.exe
Description: 
Commands like add_custom_target allows to specify many COMMAND parameters. On
windows it concatenates all values into one big command and then passes to
cmd.exe

Unfortunately cmd.exe has limit of the length of a command that can be passed:
8192.

Therefore CMake should not attempt to concatenate but pass commands to cmd.exe
one by one.
