Summary:                    "NMake Makefiles" generator doesn't escape special
characters (such as '#') in build directory name correctly
Description: 
When using `cmake -G "NMake Makefiles"` from a directory containing
nmake-special characters, such as '#', the special characters are not escaped
causing incorrect macro definitions and build executions.

The special characters should be escaped with '^'.

Steps to Reproduce: 
cd REPO
mkdir #build
cd #build
cmake -G "NMake Makefiles" REPO_SRC
nmake
