[CMake] Escape/quote spaces in ARGS of EXEC_PROGRAM?

Hi folks,
I'm trying to run a program via EXEC_PROGRAM, where one of the
arguments contains ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIRECTORY}, which may of
course contain spaces or other characters that need escaping or quoting.
Here's what the cmake block looks like (it's trying to learn the site-
packages directory from python).
IF(PYTHON_EXECUTABLE)
FILE(WRITE ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/det_spp.py "try:\n import
distutils.sysconfig; print distutils.sysconfig.get_python_lib()
\nexcept: pass")
EXEC_PROGRAM("${PYTHON_EXECUTABLE}"
ARGS "${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/det_spp.py"
OUTPUT_VARIABLE py_spp)
ENDIF(PYTHON_EXECUTABLE)
Right now (using a CMake CVS checkout from yesterday) this fails when
the path to the current binary dir has spaces in it. Is there
anything I can do?
