[CMake] Problem with NMake generator after upgrade from 2.4.6 to 2.6.3

[Dieter Oberkofler]

I'm also having problems with a library in the format
"D:\MyDev\ljs_app\trunk\tools\..\xvt\win\lib\tls12dvc71".
This library was successfully processed in CMake 2.4.6 but when using 2.6.4
nmake issues the following error message:
NMAKE : fatal error U1073: don't know how to make
'D:\MyDev\ljs_app\trunk\tools\..\xvt\win\lib\tls12dvc71'
Could this be related to a change in CMake's behaviour?
Thank you
-Dieter
