One can already escape a space with `\ `, but it won't help you.
The only reason your `\t` hack works is because the incomplete
escaping performed by generators for add_custom_{command,target}
without the VERBATIM option does not consider TABs to need quoting.
Without that option, other needed quoting or escaping may not work.
There is no officially supported way to do what you're trying to do.
If you find a hack that happens to work due to implementation details
of the current version of CMake, there is no guarantee they will work
in future versions. Please see my previous response for a supported
alternative approach.
