I am surprised by the super-long command line, because CMake should be
generating response files instead of putting all of the options on the
command line.  But then again, as far as I remember, the command lines
for VTK 5.0.2 were always short enough for the compilers to handle,
even before CMake supported response files.  I have no experience at
all with bcc, however.
