[CMake] moc Cannot open options file specified with @

[John Drescher]

I have been using CMake with my Qt projects for a few months now and
every once and a while moc fails with
"Cannot open options file specified with @"

I did a google search and ended up finding my own post to this list on
the same subject in April of last year.

http://www.cmake.org/pipermail/cmake/2008-April/021263.html

That time it was with visual studio 2003 now I have 2005 and the
problem is more rare however it still occurs. Usually exiting visual
studio fixes it but this time I am not having any luck. I have
regenerated the project 3 times and it still is happening.
