Michael,

Jean-Luc in cc to this e-mail spotted an issue with your MSVC installer
to do with readline path completion and paths with spaces. To observe
this issue try

cd c:
cd Doc<tab>

This will then complete the path with

cd Documents and Settings

and the error

error: Documents: no such file or directory

will occur. Has this issue been addressed? Is there a means of getting
the readline path completion to instead write that as

cd Documents\ and\ Settings

Should we concatenate the multiple arguments to "cd" above into a single
argument? If so what white space character and how many of them should
we assume are present? In any case do you have some idea how to address
this?

Regards
David
