let &makeprg = '"C:\Documents and
Settings\username\projects\projectname\trunk\tools\gmake.exe"'
should do it, as should
set makeprg=\"C:\\Documents\ and\
Settings\\username\\projects\\projectname\\trunk\\tools\\gmake.exe\"
The solution is a combination of giving Windows the full path
enclosed in double-quotes and quoting the result properly for Vim.
I find it easier to first get a string to work with :let, then
translate the working string to one that works with :set.
