Summary:                    PARENT_SCOPE empties variables when recursived used
Description: 
when a PARENT_SCOPE'd variable is set to a value of a PARENT_SCOPE'd variable,
both are empty:

set(a "a" PARENT_SCOPE)
set(b "${a}" PARENT_SCOPE)


expected result:

a = "a"
b = "a"

but in real both are empty!


Additional Information: 
can be workarounded:

macro(MakeGlobalVar varname)
        set(${varname} ${ARGN} PARENT_SCOPE)
        set(${varname} ${ARGN})
endmacro()


MakeGlobalVar(a "a")
MakeGlobalVar(b "${a}")
