I had searched before, but I missed a directory, for part of the
build environment, that I picked up from someone else.  That
code was setting it before mine.  Sorry for the noise.

The argument reordering remains an issue.  The following commands:

   add_definitions(-DUNICODE)
   add_definitions(-UUNICODE)

should produce the following on the command line:

   -DUNICODE -UUNICODE

Instead, I see the following:

   -UUNICODE -DUNICODE

That's wrong.  CMake should honor the order in which the
definitions are set, at least when order matters.
