[CMake] Maximum path length in CMakeFiles

[Frans.Fuerst at elektrobit.com]

Hi again,
 
might there be a maximum path length limitation in CMake (or perhaps in nmake)? Trying to compile a library I have to comment out every source file that leads to a CMakeFiles/... object file with a total path length of over 200.
 
Is that a known problem and can I avoid it despite by shorten the path names?
 
thanks,
Frans
