Makefiles can't handle spaces in filenames, and this is rather fundamental
to the way make works. Spaces separate tokens, and there isn't any
(documented) mechanism to quote spaces.
If the variables were only used in commands, you could quote them, but
that won't work elsewhere (e.g. "include" statements or dependencies).
The only workaround I know is to use 8.3 names (e.g. "/c/progra~1" rather
than "/c/Program Files"), but I don't know how to perform that conversion
from within a script (from C, you can use GetShortPathName()).
