Passing angle brackets and quotes in definitions through the command 
line has never really been done with CMake before.  I'd say this is a 
bug, but I'm not sure how to fix it without breaking someone's project 
who already did your work-around.  Please report it to the bug tracker 
so at least it won't be lost.
