Summary:                    Target names may not contain a plus sign anymore
Description: 
Since the latest revision in Git (commit efdf152), CMake balks at targets with a
plus sign in their name. Since it's a common practice to name C++ wrapper of
some libraries as MyLib++, that's a little strange. Attached is a diff that adds
the plus sign to the regex used to verify target names.

Steps to Reproduce: 
Invoke CMake with a CMakeLists.txt containing:

add_executable(mylib++ ${SOURCE_FILES})

It will fail with the error message "Target name not supported"
