Summary0010112: string(CONFIGURE ... ESCAPE_QUOTES) does not work
DescriptionWhen using the string(CONFIGURE ...) command, the ESCAPE_QUOTES option is simply ignored. For example, the following script

set(foo \"Hello!\")
message(${foo})
string(CONFIGURE "@foo@" result ESCAPE_QUOTES)
message(${result})

produces this output:

"Hello!"
"Hello!"

As you can see, the quotes have not been escaped.

The problem is that cmCommand::InvokeInitialPass() already expands the variables (even the @ ones) before the stuff even reaches cmStringCommand::HandleConfigureCommand().
