To follow up -- while putting quotes around the arguments generated by
the automoc's custom command or replacing the / by \ works, actually
moving CMake out of Program Files to c:\cmake26 also solves the build problem.

Is this likely to be a bug in cmake itself, or rather in the automoc cmake modules?
