Summary: Problem with mkmf and spaces in directory names?

Initial Comment:
See: http://www.ruby-talk.org/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/104505

The problem remains as of ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25) [i386-mswin32].  With c:/program files/ruby, mkmf does not quote or shorten (progra~1) the path, causing, for example:

Error makefile 99: Redefinition of target 'c:/program'

Can this be fixed?
