[Cmake] using # in a string

[Andy Cedilnik]

Hi Stefan,

You can get any character in the CMake variable by using STRING ASCII
command. Unfortunately there is a bug in CMake which makes all STRING
commands only work in the leaf CMakeLists.txt. So, if you only need the
funny character in the current CMakeLists.txt, then here we go:

STRING(ASCII 35 POUND)
SET(SOME_VAR "The pound is ${POUND}")
