[CMake] ninja generator and add_custom_target bug

Hi,
With this cmake code:
ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET(uninstall
COMMAND echo "\nRemoving installed files:"
COMMAND cat ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/install_manifest.txt | xargs
rm -fv
)
(sorry about the wrapping...)
the ninja generator fails with:
ninja: error: build.ninja:90: expected '=', got lexing error
which turns out to be (again, the wrapping makes this hard
to see):
build CMakeFiles/uninstall: CUSTOM_COMMAND
COMMAND = cd /usr/home/rcarter/projects/nail/core/build/c++.Debug &&
echo
Removing\ installed\ files: && cat
/usr/home/rcarter/projects/nail/core/build/c++.Debug/install_manifest.txt
| xargs rm -fv
The problem seems to be that the echo'd text starting with
"Removing" begins after a newline.
The cmake code works fine with the gmake generator.
Best regards,
Russell
