Gradle Version: 2.14  
Operating System: Windows  
Is this a regression? Yes, worked with 2.13

> <https://github.com/AndreasFagschlunger/O2Xfs/blob/develop/at.o2xfs.win32/build.gradle>

Since 2.14 build fails if a NativeLibrarySpec contains dots in name like following:

```gradle
    components {
        'foo.bar'(NativeLibrarySpec) {
            binaries.all {

```

```gradle
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Element registration has a path (components.foo.bar.binaries) which is not a child of this node (components.foo.bar).
