During build, we create a touch file which is literally named 'the..'. While cygwin handles this without issues, Windows believes this to be a file with the extension "." and can't touch it, that is, not delete or move it.

This patch renames this file (and others created at the same time) to have a proper extension (".marker"), which Windows deals with properly.
