Summary:                    Malformed newline sequences from externally executed
processes
Description: 
When running ctest in script mode verbosely e.g. the executed build command
produces "\r\n" newlines. When ctest forwards that output to stdout/stderr these
"\r\n" newlines turn into "\r\r\n".

The same happens when using execute_process() without the OUTPUT_/ERROR_
options.

When using the OUTPUT_/ERROR_ VARIABLE/FILE options "\r" newlines are explicitly
stripped resulting in correct/expected output.

While the windows console and e.g. notepad interpret these "\r\r\n" newline
sequences as a single newline other tools (e.g. buildbot) interpret such a
sequence as two newlines.
