[CMake] MSVC10 project error

[J Decker]

-------
PROJECT( basename.stop )
set( ${SOURCES} )
add_executable(${PROJECT_NAME} ${SOURCES})


just building a windows exectuable with a . in the name...

  $(TargetFileName)=basename.exe
  $(TargetName)=basename
  $(TargetExt)=.exe


that is without overriding SUFFIX.    the '.stop' is dropped from the
desired target filename 'basename.stop.exe'



To recap
--------
    add_library( basename.feature.group SHARED whatever.c )
    SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES( basename.feature.group PROPERTIES
                   SUFFIX ""
                   PREFIX ""
    )

results in 'basename.dll' being produced  (drops .feature.group)

--------
    add_library( basename_feature_group SHARED whatever.c )
    SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES( basename.feature.group PROPERTIES
                   SUFFIX ""
                   PREFIX ""
    )

results in 'basename_feature_group.dll'

-----------
    add_library( basename_feature.group SHARED whatever.c )
    SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES( basename_feature.group PROPERTIES
                   SUFFIX ""
                   PREFIX ""
    )

results in 'basename_feature.group' being produced  (correct)



results in 'basename.dll' being produced
