[CMake] Unneeded escaping: how to stop it?

[Steven Van Ingelgem]

The problem in fact is in cmcommand.h @ line 67: "InvokeInitialPass"

Here there is done the pass through "ExpandArguments", which removes
the knowledge of the quoted/unquoted nature of the arguments... Before
is known if it's VERBATIM or not...

I think this is a deep problem, and rather difficult to solve.

Do you want me to submit it to the bug tracker?
