[Cmake] Escape Characters VS and Unix

[Andrew Dupont]

Bill,

	I was using $\(InputDir\) etc, because when getting the command
into the visual studio project a quoted string carried with it the
quotes. Would the escape character show up in unix makefiles? If so is
there an alternative that allows me to actually store that string?

Thanks,
Andy

I don't think you want this:
LINK_LIBRARIES(bit_streamer)

Also, I would recommend using 
bit_streamer_SOURCE_DIR nad
bit_streamer_BINARY_DIR instead of hard coding the R: path.

Also, the use of $\(InputDir\) $\(InputPath\) in your custom
command will restrict this to only work with visual studio project
files.  The nmake, and unix generation will not work with those.
