Comment (by duncan):

 The solution is to use "" in the field, like:

 {{{
 include-dirs: "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.2\include", "C:\Program
 Files\PostgreSQL\8.2\include\server", .
 extra-lib-dirs: "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.2\include", "C:\Program
 Files\PostgreSQL\8.2\include\server"
 }}}

 because spaces or ',' are allowed as field separators. Perhaps we should
 reconsider this or if we cannot change due to backwards compatability we
 could think about a warning. For example we might check if each directory
 exists and in the warning message mention that directory names with spaces
 have to use ""s.
