Summary

0009912: ampersands are not escaped in custom_commands comment section

Description

I used the VS2010 Win64 Generator to build a sln file and got the following error when loading the sln file into VS2010B2:

my.vcxproj : error : Unable to read the project file "my.vcxproj".
my.vcxproj(104,48): The project file could not be loaded. An error occurred while parsing EntityName. Line 25, position 28.

This error is due to an ampersand in a post-build event comment:

24 <PostBuildEvent>
25 <Message>blabla & blabla</Message>

which is created like this:
add_custom_command(
TARGET OpenMS
POST_BUILD
COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E echo ""
COMMENT "blabla & blabla" VERBATIM)

Removing the "&" solves the issue, but it should be escaped by cmake if thats possible (or removed).
In VS9 the original ampersand is escaped using html-style, i.e. "&", but it seems that VS2010B2 ignores this if I replace this manually within the vcxproj file - well at least no error.

(0018467) bielow (reporter) 2009-11-17 17:44	seems mantis interprets html ampersands, so read the last line as > ... html-style, i.e. "& amp ;" ...
