    Description

      When an environment variable contains a ( in it's name then it will not be parsed correctly by qmake. Take for example the following pro file:

      TEMPLATE = app
PROGRAMS = $$(PROGRAMFILES(X86))
message($$PROGRAMS)
SOURCES  =

      it will output this:

      Missing ) terminator [found )]

      This seems to be a Windows only problem as I believe ( and ) are not valid characters in an environment variable name on other platforms.
