[CMake] Unneeded escaping: how to stop it?

[Steven Van Ingelgem]

Hi Brandon,


That was probably because it was too late to think clearly. I'm
normally already chaotic, but when I'm sleepy it is worse a factor
1000!

Please find enclosed a minimal example of what I tried to explain in
my previous mails.
The second "COMMAND" has been solved by "VERBATIM". But the first one
keeps eluding me and I think this is a bug in CMake (just updated CVS
version).


Greetings
