Comment (by zhanglikun):

 Replying to [comment:4 cas]:
 > While hving a space in the path is uncommon in Unix environments, it is
 quite common on Windows. So it might become a problem for users trying to
 compile on windows (and they might not notice what the problem is from the
 error message given).

 > A quick fix might be a check script in the make file that will give a
 meaningful error message early in the build process like 'BIND 10 cannot
 build from a path that contains spaces. exit'

 I not sure which compiler we will use when we port the the code to
 windows, if building with visual stdio, it runs well with the path name
 including spaces.

 But I don't oppose to make our bind10 more smarter and friendly by adding
 the sexy warning "10 cannot build from a path that contains spaces. exit".
