Yeah agreed, spaces in paths isn't great.
But I had expected that a tool which was supposed to be targeting use under
Windows would accommodate the Microsoft enforced paradigms, like spaces in
paths.
Even more ironic of course that the entire reason the tool exists is to
generate Windows Resource files, which would also have these same
Microsoft-isms about them ;)

There is a work around, but I'd still like to report it as a bug.  I imagine
it's trivial to fix, just a case of double quoting something prior to
passing it on.


Regards,
Bevan Weiss

To tell the true, for many reasons, using spaces and special chars in paths
is really unreasonable, for a developer.
