After a lot of thrashing around I finally discovered that

$ ' \ r '
Is there an easier way to write this literal string to a file that I
missed?
file(WRITE <filename> "\$'\\r'")?
You're not going to get much simpler, as both '\' and '$' have special
meaning and so need to be escaped.
I'm not sure why you found it necessary to add all the extra quotes?
(Tested on cmake 2.8.9 on Linux.)
