Summary: Does msys properly parse system path?

Initial Comment:
Sometimes programs add items to the path containing spaces, does this interfere at all with locating binaries that are on the msys path but NOT the windows path?

Message:
Just curious.

Also, configure scripts seem to be having some trouble locating items in
/usr/local.
