Replying to [comment:13 glynn]: > [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa905330.aspx] if it is only for 32bit Vista, that will go away soon.

I'm not sure if this is relevant at run time or only at build time, but fwiw the MSys devs seem completely uninterested in fixing spaces in pathnames issues. They've thrown that class of bugs in the "too hard, won't even try" pile. I've had a patch in their tracker for 6 months with no action and 2 of 3 commenting devs recommending "wontfix". see #629 and, https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2808978&group_id=2435&atid=102435 https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=102435&aid=1511614&group_id=2435 for now I have posted the r.patch work-around solution on the Errata section of the CompileOnWindows trac wiki page.
