Not to put too fine a point on it, but almost all build systems ultimately 
rely on make, which like most systems does not handle whitespace very well 
(why Windows insists on putting whitespace into _system_ folder names is 
beyond me anyway). The only exception to the all-base-to-make-rule that 
comes to mind is ant.


	have a nice last day of 2009 and a happy 2010,
