[CMake] Getting cmake to double quote paths in Xcode project

[Ben Dolman]

I mixed up the ordering of the examples in my last email.  I said that "the
first one works great".  I really meant that the second one works great
(where the Xcode project file has quotes around the path) and the first one
doesn't work (where there are no quotes around the resulting path).  Sorry
for the confusion.
