Summary:                    FILE(GLOB variable RELATIVE path
globbing_expression) fails when the underlying path contains special character
Description: 
FILE(GLOB variable RELATIVE path globbing_expression) fails to generate the list
of files when the path contains "[some_text]".

Steps to Reproduce: 
List files in a directory whose path contains '[some_text]'

--> FILE(GLOB lstFiles RELATIVE ${dirPath} ${dirPath}/*)
or
--> FILE(GLOB lstFiles RELATIVE "${dirPath} "${dirPath}/*")

Additional Information: 
Escaping '[' and ']' in CMAKE returned PATHs should prevent this, I haven't
tested it.
