path with spaces in config.pl

Hi,

I would like report an observations regarding compilation with msvc++
I was trying to compile with nls=>'C:\Program Files\GnuWin32\' (of course
with GetText installed and everything)
The build process breaks on link with missing "Program.obj" error. When I
changed nls='C:\prog\pgsql\depend\gettext' everything compiled just fine.

Perhaps we should document this.

Regards,
Gevik.

Or we should fix it, if we can figure out why. Is it the fact that it only
works with what happens to be the directory layout I use, or is it the
space in the filename that's breaking something? Can you test a third case
to figure that out?

I think it is the darn msbuild which accepts spaces in "include" but not in
"lib"
Attached is a quick patch that fixed the link error on my machine.
