Thanks for the tip on the quot stuff.

Well, the autoconvert stuff has never worked for CMake.  However, if 
anyone would like to help with the new generator here is what I would 
like to have.  I would like a mapping from flags to xml snippets. 
Basically go into the GUI and set each flag possible for the compile and 
linker and create a table of command line cl flag to XML representation 
of that.   I am working on the new code this next week, but if someone 
or some group of people were to help create the flag map that would be 
really helpful and speed things up.

Fortunately,  the NMake generator does work if people want to try the 
compiler with their code.
