Summary:                    CMakeDetermineRCCompiler does not detect windres
from "i686-w64-mingw32.shared-windres"
Description: 
CMakeDetermineRCCompiler.cmake uses the name without ending for identifying
windres:

GET_FILENAME_COMPONENT(CMAKE_BASE_NAME ${CMAKE_RC_COMPILER} NAME_WE)
IF("${CMAKE_BASE_NAME}" MATCHES "windres")
  SET(CMAKE_BASE_NAME "windres")
ENDIF()

This code fails to detect windres when the filename contains the period in the
prefix. This is the case e.g. when using a shared-lib cross compilation
toolchain from mxe.cc (development version) where windres is named
i686-w64-mingw32.shared-windres.

I see that in general the ending needs to be removed from the filename. However,
for detecting windres the full filename should be matched.
