#1927: Parrot doesn't build on Win32 with spaces in directory name

Severity: high | Keywords: win32

Platform: win32 |
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
I just tried building a fresh checkout of Parrot on Win32 in a directory
with spaces in the name "C:/Documents and Settings/awhitworth/...". In the
makefile and in config_lib.pir, this was mangled to "C:/Documents\ and\
Settings/awhitworth", which failed. In the config PMC, this was unescaped
to "C:/Documents\\ and\\ Settings/awhitworth", which looks even worse.
Even after hand-editing the makefile and the config_lib.pir text, the
build still does not complete because of issues finding include files.
When I copied my build directory to a path without spaces ("C:/Parrot"),
it builds without issue.
