This bit me early on as well: OMake string literals start with $, then
a single or double quote (or a sequence of single or double quotes).
In the above, 'int main() { return 0; }')  is interpreted a string
that includes the quotation marks. The following returns true:

    echo $(TryCompileC $'int main() { return 0; }')
