Can't use path with parenthesis for logging
-------------------------------------------

                 Key: LBCORE-130
                 URL: http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LBCORE-130
             Project: logback-core
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Pattern
    Affects Versions: 0.9.16
            Reporter: Matthias
            Assignee: Logback dev list
            Priority: Minor


I configured following appender:
<appender name="WS_LOG" class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender">
	<Encoding>UTF-8</Encoding>
	<File>${catalina.home}/logs/webserver.log</File>
	<rollingPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy"> 
		<FileNamePattern>${catalina.home}/logs/webserver.%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.log</FileNamePattern>
		<MaxHistory>14</MaxHistory>
	</rollingPolicy> 
	<layout class="ch.qos.logback.classic.PatternLayout"> 
		<PresentationHeader>ARCHIKART Webserver Logs</PresentationHeader>
		<Pattern>%date{dd.MM HH:mm:ss} %-20.20(%level [%thread]) - %msg%n</Pattern>
	</layout>
</appender>
In this case ${catalina.home} is "C:\Program Files (x86)\webserver". 
When the logback.xml is parsed the path "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\webserver\\/logs/webserver.%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.log" is only parsed to  "C:\\Program Files (x86".
That's why it causes an exception "FileNamePattern ... does not contain a valid DateToken" in TimeBasedRollingPolicy. When I use a path without parenthesis logging works fine. But this is the default program files directory on windows vista 64bit.

I did not test 0.9.18, because I thought it would be a bigger work to change the logging of the server. I did not read anything of this in the Jira, so I think this error might still exist.
