I found the problem.  I was doing
FILE(WRITE CMakeLists.txt ${stream})
instead of
FILE(WRITE CMakeLists.txt "${stream}")

I ***HATE*** CMake list quote shennanigans.  It's really dangerous.
The behavior isn't even documented anywhere, you learn lists vs.
strings by osmosis.  There's got to be a safer way to do this stuff.
I'm not thinking of a better interface right now though.  Someone lend
brainpower.
