A dot '.' char is a special character in XDC. If configuro is passed a folder name with a '.' in it (e.g. "configuro -o foo.bar"), strange errors ensue (a pkg with a nested namespace is created and "things in the generated pkg get confused"). It's probably ok to restrict output folder to not having a '.' in it, but configuro should validate the outdir arg early - perhaps for '.' and other reserved chars - and provide a meaningful error.
the configuro output directory name is constrained to be a valid package name. It must, therefore be a valid C identified name. Unfortunately, this constraint is not checked and, as a result bizarre errors (from the user's point of view) result.
fixed by adding additional check of generated package name in mkpkg.xdt (r1609, for xdctools 3.24).
