Subject: [PATCH] Allow trailing spaces and " -" in filenames for the compile output parser

From: Laurence Darby <[email-masked]>

Hi,

I actually have a lot of files that have " -" in the names, this patch
fixes it for me.  If anyone understands this regex (I don't really,
just kept changing it till it worked), can you see if the change breaks
anything else?

Thanks,
Laurence
