[CMake] /STACK:10000000 being added to linker in Visual Studio?

[David Cole]

Put double quotes around the final ${flags} here, like this:

  string( REGEX REPLACE "/STACK:[0-9]+" "" flags "${flags}" )

Otherwise, if ${flags} is empty, string(REGEX REPLACE will complain
that it doesn't have any input string. Using the "" around it tells
the command it really does have 6 arguments even if the final one is
just the empty string.

Even though the variable is named CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS, I think it
applies to dll targets, too, and that's the root source of the target
property's initial value. So using my technique should obviate the
need for this code.
