    Description

      The following commands are performed on Windows.

      C:\work>type "dir with space"\file.c
int a;

C:\work>cl2000 --preproc_dependency "dir with space"\file.c

C:\work>type "dir with space\file.pp"
file.obj: dir\\ with\\ space\file.c

C:\work>gmake -f "dir with space\file.pp"
gmake: *** No rule to make target 'dir\', needed by 'file.obj'.  Stop.

C:\work>type "dir with space\corrected"
file.obj: dir\ with\ space/file.c

C:\work>gmake -f "dir with space\corrected"
gmake: Nothing to be done for 'file.obj'.

      file.c is a toy C file. The file corrected was created by making a copy of file.pp, then changing it manually, in order to show one way the spaces in the directory name could be handled.
