I am attaching a sample that reproduces the issue. I'm using CMake
version 2.8.11.2. To reproduce this, just run the 'generate.bat' batch
file from its current directory (WINDOWS ONLY). I have set it up to
generate for Visual Studio 2008, but you can edit the batch file to
change this.

Password to the archive is: cmake
