Personally I think it complicates matters unnecessarily. Windows allows
you to have spaces in file names and folders but when you cd to such a
folder (example: "Program Files") you have to quote the directory path
in order for cd to take it. Spaces doesn't work at all on Unix paths. I
did test libdns++ on windows and it did seem to be okay but I'm left
wondering what will break.

Is there a real reason to do this or is this just cosmetic?
