[Cmake] Line length in dsps

[Geoffrey Cross]

I see: it is only used in the EXE template and not the DLL template. 

I know it's a hack, and I know it's not very nice, but basically if you
remove it Cmake will generate DSPs which are not read correctly by msdev
6 (not very useful, as that is the only reason to generate DSPs :).
