You're telling me there is a problem with spaces, but I don't
understand precisely what the problem is, so I don't know exactly what
it is that needs to be fixed.

In my case, the octave source are located in a dir with spaces in it; hence "top_srcdir" and "builddir" contain both spaces. The 2 first assigment statements fail already:

top_srcdir=/c/Document and Settings/and/so/on
builddir=/c/Document and Settings/and/so/on

leads to the shell trying to execute "and". If I enclose the 2 dirs into double-quotes, assigments succeeds, but then the problem appears in the "find" execution: the "dirs" variable contains again
the spaces. I didn't farer than that.

Michael.
