Comment (by duncan):
The solution is to use "" in the field, like:
{{{
include-dirs: "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.2\include", "C:\Program
Files\PostgreSQL\8.2\include\server", .
extra-lib-dirs: "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.2\include", "C:\Program
Files\PostgreSQL\8.2\include\server"
}}}
because spaces or ',' are allowed as field separators. Perhaps we should
reconsider this or if we cannot change due to backwards compatability we
could think about a warning. For example we might check if each directory
exists and in the warning message mention that directory names with spaces
have to use ""s.
