Summary: Patch for windres in binutils-2.15.91-20040904-1

Initial Comment:
When MinGW is installed in a path with directory names
including spaces, 'windres' when reading Windows rc
files, tries to find the preprocessor (namely gcc)
using complete Windows paths, therefore with paths
including unescaped spaces. The preprocessor command to
be run must then by escaped with '"' in order to avoid
spaces in its pathname, because they will be
interpreted as argument separator.

To reproduce the problem without installing MinGW in a
new pathname with spaces, just create a "/mingw/bin
test/" directory, copy windres.exe and gcc.exe in it
and execute windres from this directory (even with an
empty rc file). You will see an error message because
it tries to 'run_cmd' or 'popen' with a command in the
form '/mingw/bin test/gcc.exe -E -xc ...', and the ' '

Thank you !
Eric
