[CMake] multiple executables

[PCJohn]

Thanks. VERBATIM was the problem. After, removing it, the code works 
perfectly. Thanks!

Anyway, I am a little bit puzzled with documentation, as it states:

 > In the future VERBATIM may be enabled by default. The only reason

I hope, my code will still work in future releases :-) .
So, finally, solved, and it works now! Thanks.
