I just pulled latest and did my usual "open src/vcbuild/dmd.sln" 
in Visual Studio. Hit compile.

'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external 
command, operable program or batch file.

I think a recent Windows update has ruined how paths are reported 
in Visual Studio. Had to change some definitions in my own stuff 
that's been working for ages too.

Perhaps the makefiles are having the same problem.
