Summary:                    cmake xml-escapes ";" for visual studio generators
resulting in malformed "ignore default libraries"
Description: 
I have the following cmakelist : 

set_property(TARGET MyLibraryUsingFortranRt APPEND PROPERTY LINK_FLAGS
		    "/NODEFAULTLIB:svml_disp.lib"	      
		    "libifcoremt.lib"
		    "libcmt.lib"
		    "libcmtd.lib"
		    "libmmt.lib"
		    "libifport.lib")

this generates the following xml fragment with 3.1 (Visual 2010 generator) 
     
<IgnoreSpecificDefaultLibraries>svml_disp.lib%3Blibifcoremt.lib%3Blibcmt.lib%3Blibcmtd.lib%3Blibmmt.lib%3Blibifport.lib;%(IgnoreSpecificDefaultLibraries)</IgnoreSpecificDefaultLibraries>


(notice how ";" got correctly escaped to %3B ! ) 

However for this specific filed VS expect to have ";" present in the xml as it
is the case with 3.0 making it impossible to ignore several libraries.
