According to the CMake documentation, the STREQUAL comparison is allowed to take either a VARIABLE or a STRING as either parameter. So, in this example below, the message does NOT print, which is broken:

set( FUBARTEST "OK" )
if( FUBARTEST STREQUAL "OK" )
    message( "It Worked" )
endif()

Any reason why this isn't working as documented?
