Summary: Build problems on x64 with spaces in directory

Initial Comment:
I just unpacked the new SDK and updated the SVN tree. When trying to build, I was greeted with an error message "MSB6006: cmd.exe exited with error code 9009".
After a little check, I saw that the cmd.exe was trying to access "C:\Users\<NAME>\Projects\Visual", not realizing that after a space, the path continues with "Studio 2010" and the other subdirectories.
The fix is to be made in the Common.vcxproj: make the paths relative.
The following is the changed snippet, you will find this on lines 112 to 122, I unfortunately do not know how to make a patch file.

    <CustomBuild Include="..\src\Version.template">
      <FileType>Document</FileType>
      <Command Condition="'$(Configuration)|$(Platform)'=='Release|Win32'">..\..\python.exe ..\make_versioncpp.py ..\src</Command>
      <Outputs Condition="'$(Configuration)|$(Platform)'=='Release|Win32'">..\src\Version.cpp;%(Outputs)</Outputs>
      <AdditionalInputs Condition="'$(Configuration)|$(Platform)'=='Release|Win32'">..\..\.svn;%(AdditionalInputs)</AdditionalInputs>
      <Message Condition="'$(Configuration)|$(Platform)'=='Release|Win32'">Make Version.cpp</Message>
      <Command Condition="'$(Configuration)|$(Platform)'=='Debug|Win32'">..\..\python.exe ..\make_versioncpp.py ...\src</Command>
      <Message Condition="'$(Configuration)|$(Platform)'=='Debug|Win32'">Make Version.cpp</Message>
      <Outputs Condition="'$(Configuration)|$(Platform)'=='Debug|Win32'">..\src\Version.cpp;%(Outputs)</Outputs>
      <AdditionalInputs Condition="'$(Configuration)|$(Platform)'=='Debug|Win32'">..\..\.svn;%(AdditionalInputs)</AdditionalInputs>
    </CustomBuild>

Message:
Verified fixed, builds as a charm with absolute directories in double
quotes as well :)

Message:
Should be fixed in SVN. However, instead of using relative paths I decided
to enclose everything in double quotes.
