[CMake] cmake generates broken project file when path includes whitespace (in this case at least)

[Ajay Panyala]

Please notice the linebreak after Foo, this causes the linker to fail,
saying it can not find "C:/Projects/Foo".

I guess this is a cmake bug, but I need to find a workaround for this one.
I am using cmake 2.8.2 on Windows 7.

I have the exact same whitespace issue with a custom command. I am using
cmake 2.8.4 with Cygwin
on Windows XP. I have not tried to fix it yet since it was not too urgent
for me.

My guess is (I maybe wrong) that it may have something to do with the way
Windows paths ( "C:/Projects/Foo")
are specified. I think CMake has something to handle this, but I do not
know what that would be.

Thanks
Ajay
