The other area you will have major problems with besides the settings, is
the library code, the library entries use absolute path for every file
name... This won't work at all for portable builds (you are
virtually guaranteed to have different drive letters between different PCs).
Another area is if you build via MSVC you will have MSVC redistributable
runtime deps. The mingw builds don't suffer from this though.

Yeah, I'm old enough to know of the file mangling thing (3.1 -> 95.. you
start me up!), but I avoid it like the plague, there's almost always another
way to do something that doesn't rely on that... but more then that I
really wanted to know if I would be able to pass in string constants with
spaces in them for stuff later, and it appears you can if you follow the
first example in the quoted mail, outside double quoting the define:
