+separate_arguments
+------------------
+
+Parse command-line arguments into a semicolon-separated list.
+
+.. code-block:: cmake
+
+  separate_arguments(<variable> <mode> <args>)
+
+Parses a space-separated string ``<args>`` into a list of items,
+and stores this list in semicolon-separated standard form in ``<variable>``.
+
+This function is intended for parsing command-line arguments.
+The entire command line must be passed as one string in the
+argument ``<args>``.
+
+The exact parsing rules depend on the operating system.
+They are specified by the ``<mode>`` argument which must
+be one of the following keywords:
+
+``UNIX_COMMAND``
+  Arguments are separated by unquoted whitespace.
+  Both single-quote and double-quote pairs are respected.
+  A backslash escapes the next literal character (``\"`` is ``"``);
+  there are no special escapes (``\n`` is just ``n``).
+
+``WINDOWS_COMMAND``
+  A Windows command-line is parsed using the same
+  syntax the runtime library uses to construct argv at startup.  It
+  separates arguments by whitespace that is not double-quoted.
+  Backslashes are literal unless they precede double-quotes.  See the
+  MSDN article `Parsing C Command-Line Arguments`_ for details.
+
+``NATIVE_COMMAND``
+  Proceeds as in ``WINDOWS_COMMAND`` mode if the host system is Windows.
+  Otherwise proceeds as in ``UNIX_COMMAND`` mode.

+.. _`Parsing C Command-Line Arguments`: https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/a1y7w461.aspx
+
+.. code-block:: cmake
+
+  separate_arguments(<var>)
+
+Convert the value of ``<var>`` to a semi-colon separated list.  All
+spaces are replaced with ';'.  This helps with generating command
+lines.
