Summary:                    Problem with creating installation directories
conatining a colon (:)
Description: 
When running 'make install' with DESTDIR to a directory containing a colon,
cmake won't create parent directories. If parent directories already exist
everything works fine.

Steps to Reproduce: 
With any cmake project that has some install() command:

make install DESTDIR=aa/b:b
<error>
mkdir aa
make install DESTDIR=aa/b:b
<works>

Additional Information: 
The MakeDirectory function in Source/kwsys/SystemTools.cxx parses the directory
tree after the first colon it finds, probably to eliminate drive name in Windows
environment, although no #ifdef is in sight.

Also, it seems that this code just below

  if(dir[dir.size()-1] == '/')
    {
    topdir = dir.substr(0, dir.size());
    }
  else
    {
    topdir = dir;
    }

does nothing.
