[CMake] Problem with NMake generator after upgrade from 2.4.6 to 2.6.3

[Dieter Oberkofler]

Bill,

I have been digging into this issue and found out that the problem might be
cause by the following command that might have changed it's behaviour in
CMake 2.6.4
==========
SET(CMAKE_CXX_LINK_EXECUTABLE "link.exe /OUT:<TARGET> > <TARGET>.ler
${CMAKE_START_TEMP_FILE} <CMAKE_CXX_LINK_FLAGS> <LINK_FLAGS> <OBJECTS>
<LINK_LIBRARIES>${CMAKE_END_TEMP_FILE}")
==========
The linker complains about a file @CMakeFiles\LJS_049.dir\objects1.rsp that
cannot be found.
There is a objects1.rsp in the cmake build directories but I assume the file
might not be searched in the proper directory.

A few questions on this:
1) Has the behaviour changed here?
2) Is there now a better way to generate a file (*.ler in my example) with
the output of the linker?

Thank you for your help!

-Dieter
