[Cmake] Configuration problem in Dart/CMake

[Ian Scott]

Contrary to my first email, it seems that just putting quotes around the
command filepath in DartConfiguration.tcl does work. I will submit a fix to
Dart.conf.in and Utility.conf.in (are both really needed) so that the quotes
always go in.

Ian.
