Sorry for being too restrictive in the project directory name.

It's because the project directory name is directly used in the name of 
specific component directories.

This is actually a limitation in the packager that makes no difference 
between:

- The project directory name.
- A unique name that identifies the component.

I will try to workaround that restriction by making the packager deal 
with that difference.

Anyway, the following restrictions will still apply:

- The package name of a component must be 
"gambas3-<vendor>-<component>-<version>".

- You can't put hyphens where you want in a package name. I don't 
remember if it's because of Debian packager, RedHat packager or both. So 
they will be replaced by underscores.

I think I will do the following: instead of displaying an error message, 
I will check the project name: if it does not start with the vendor 
name, I will add it internally to forge the unique component name.
