[CMake] try_compile generates assertion failure in MSVC 2010

[Dominik Szczerba]

Sample code:

// foo and others computed as a function of epsilon, also computed
printf ("static double foo = %f;\n", foo);

I have not tried other compilers on Windows, the project I am working
on has to compile with MSVC...

Any hints are welcome.

Regards,
Dominik
