+Windows Spaces In Paths
+-----------------------
+
+Occasionally, a program will fail on Windows with errors that
+appear as if a directory or file name was partially parsed by
+some utility or program. This can be caused by having directories
+of file names with spaces. Programs written in scripting languages
+sometimes fail to properly quote file names and the space is
+incorrectly interpreted.
+
+Parts of the PATH inherited from the native Windows environment often
+include directory names with spaces. Sometimes it is necessary to set
+the PATH explicitly to avoid these.
