cmake bug with spacebar in username

[matprec]

I'm trying to compile libgit2, which fails on my machine in cmake/VS.

The problem is that my username contains a spacebar ("Forename Lastname", autogenerated by windows). For inspection, press strg+f and search for C:\Users\Forename with highlighting enabled. You'll find partial/incomplete versions of the username string.

I have no idea where to start debugging the problem so help/guidance is appreciated.

Thanks for the report! Working around these bugs may actually require changes in the CMakeLists.txt file itself or otherwise quoting differently when passing arguments down to cmake itself. Unfortunately I've yet to see a solves-everything solution :(
