In the mean time I'm doing,

    EXEC_PROGRAM(${CMAKE_COMMAND} ${CONFIG_SUBDIR}/${CONFIG}
        ARGS -G "NMake Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=${CONFIG}
-DBUILD_SUBTREE=1
        ${CMAKE_HOME_DIRECTORY}
    )

However that doesn't work because the double quotes aren't escaped.  How
do I escape quotes in cmake?
