Description

This is apparently a long-standing problem, and trips a lot of people up. (Including me.) We should figure out a modification for the build process that stops this happening.

A simple modification to test for spaces in the path and die with an informative would probably be good enough. (Folks are better of building on Linux if they can ...)

Makes the ant build fail if there is any space in the path and the os is Windows XP.

Thanks. I've applied a slight variation on the patch that should also work for other flavors of Windows.
