Hello all,

I'm suffering from the issue described below.

I have created a script designed for use with CMake's find_package 
functionality, essentially following the steps outlined here:

http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/CMake:How_To_Find_Libraries#Writing_find_modules

In my case, I use execute_process to call an external application three times 
in order to obtain various compiler flag values it prints on stdout, storing 
the result of each call in separate variable. So far so good.

The issue arises when I use the find_package_handle_standard_args function. In 
the course of its processing, it calls the find_package_message that adds to 
CMakeCache.txt this internal variable:

FIND_PACKAGE_MESSAGE_DETAILS_Metaserver:INTERNAL=[-I/usr/include
][-L/usr/lib -L/usr/lib/metaserver][/usr/lib/metaserver/handlers
]

Subsequent processing of the cache file by CMake yields the parsing error I've 
been struggling with.

I'm pretty sure there are no superficial newlines in the output of the app I 
call other than those at the end of each string, but I believe that if those 
were the issue, the second value would have had a line break at its end -- just 
before the closing square bracket -- as well.

I've found two ways to get around this problem so far -- either I call my 
"find_package" script with the "quiet" argument, but then I won't know if the 
process succeeded, or I can manually edit the cache file and put all three 
values on the same line. That change, of course, won't live past the next cache 
file recreation.

So, if anyone knows a way that will fix this problem, I'll be most grateful to 
hear about it.

Thanks very much in advance for all tips and comments.

Cheers, Zbynek
