Dealing with spaces in filenames or directories is probably possible, but
almost certainly would takes lots of effort untangling multiple
levels of quoting inside evals.  I suspect it'd be a lot of work.

As for testing Configure with the MKStool Kit, I suppose it would be nice
in principle if it worked, but I don't see what advantage
it would offer over the existing pre-made win32 config.?? files.  I also
don't know enough about the tool kit to know whether it's even remotely
possible.
