Summary:                    "source code directory path length is too long"
error.  max is 50.
Description: 
with a path to the source code set to ...
    
c:/productsTFS/Shared
Components/.NET/ITK/InsightToolkit-4.3.1/InsightToolkit-4.3.1/

running CMake and selecting Configure, the error message in the summary is
generated.

Steps to Reproduce: 
place ITK (or any other source) in a path that exceeds the 50 character length.
run CMake
select the path to the CMakeLists.txt file
select the path to the Build directory
select Configure

(error message is generated).

Additional Information: 
replacing the end of the directory path
("InsightToolkit-4.3.1/InsightToolkit-4.3.1") with "ITK4.3.1" reduces the number
of characters in the path to source and the Configure is then allowed to
succeed.
