[Cmake] EXEC_PROGRAM - bug, "feature", or my bad? Mac OS X 10.3 / BSD

[paul.]

cmake 2.0.1

my work partner and I figured it's that it is because the path is both 
quoted and \ escaped.
we also tried it on an old version of linux on a server we have access 
to, and that fails on cd "path\ has/escaped\ and\ quoted/title"

so i guess that makes it a bug in EXEC_PROGRAM?
