Thanks Alan,
I will attempt to:
1) search the CMake bug tracker (not very good at this most never seem
to find anything relevant)
2) add new bug if 1) fails to bear any fruit.
Unfortunately the
cmake -E chdir netgen patch -p0 < netgen-4.9.11.patch
doesn't work so well on Windows Vista which is why I was trying to use
the -i option.

Sorry about that missed a chdir should be

I confirm that you have found a bug (at least with Debian stable Linux
and a
bootstrapped cmake version 2.8.0-rc6). Here is a simple demonstration
with "ls -i".
softw...@raven> ls -i config.h
4539478 config.h
softw...@raven> cmake -E chdir . ls -i config.h
config.h
In other words the ls -i option is consumed by CMake just like the
patch -i
option is consumed for you. Note that -i is an
option for CMake itself (wizard mode) so there is probably some screwup
in interpretation of the command line when cmake -E is being run.
If I change the flag from -i to -l, then the flag is not consumed and
you get the same results for
"ls -l config.h" and "cmake -E chdir . ls -l config.h". That's
consistent
with the idea that you will only have trouble with cmake consuming the
option when it is an option it recognizes. ("-l" is not a cmake command
option while "-i" is).
I also confirm the bug occurs for cmake-2.6.0 (the Debian stable system
version) which makes it a bug that has been around for quite a while. I
suggest you go ahead and put it in the bugtracker (if you cannot find
another report about the same issue there).
Until this cmake -E option consuming bug is fixed I suggest you could
avoid
the -i option with patch by using, e.g.,
cmake -E chdir netgen patch -p0 <netgen-4.9.11.patch
