Just curious: What sort of direction did you have in mind for a rewrite?
Something about the general architecture of it you'd do differently?

I was using an XP box as my main machine until about a year ago. It
always worked fine for me as I recall.

The only "path with spaces" problem I had was when using DVM to build
DMD using a version of DMC that was installed by DVM. That lead to a
"paths with spaces" problem. I wasn't able to figure that out, although
I suspected it may have had something to do with either DMD's makefiles
or DMC's make.
