Summary

0000085: Nmake mode does not support more than one dot in a filename

Description

In nmake mode, try to compile:
KitwareDocuments-cvs\Projects\VTKCourse\ReorganizedExercises\exercise1b
It will fail:
makefile(66) : fatal error U1001: syntax error : illegal character '.' in macro
Stop.

Reason for this (see Makefile):
exercise1b.answer_SRC_OBJS = \
exercise1b.answer.obj

exercise1b.answer_SRC_OBJS is not an allowed syntax for a macro.

Note: I guess some other characters might be forbidden in a macro name (like dash, -)
