Summary:                    cpack should sanitize component names
Description: 
Working on an Windows NSIS installer with components. Consider:

  add_executable(targetname ...)
  install (targetname COMPONENT "foo/bar")
  cpackk_add_component("foo/bar" DISPLAY_NAME "blabla" ...)

this results in CPackConfig.cmake:

# Configuration for component "foo/bar"
SET(CPACK_COMPONENT_FOO/BAR_DISPLAY_NAME "blabla")

The component "foo/bar" does not show up in the installer afterwards. The
component names should probably be sanitised with regard to '/' and possibly
other characters not allowed in variable names?!

Observed with cmake 2.8.1 on Windows, NSIS version 2.46.
