Hmm... This does not match the "doc:" prefix of the patch.

I don't think this is correct. This omission of the single quote somehow
looks like it's done on purpose. I don't build using this system, but I
tried making some silly code like this in another file, which I actually
do use:

#if 0
#error might or mightn't work
#endif

My compiler refused to compile: "error: missing terminating ' character
[-Werror]". So I fear this change to CMakeLists.txt would make us
needlessly fail to autodetect whatever it is we're looking for here.

If this change to CMakeLists.txt is dropped, this patch looks good
to me.
