----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
 Some operating systems support file names containing spaces.  However,
 Cabal's package description parser breaks fields such as extra-lib-dirs on
 spaces, regardless of the presence or absence of quotation marks and the
 like.   For instance, using the source tarball available from
 http://hackage.haskell.org/package/Cabal, we have:

 *Distribution.PackageDescription.Parse Distribution.Compat.ReadP>
 readP_to_S parseFilePathQ "\"C:\\Path With Spaces\\\""
 [("\"C:\\Path"," With Spaces\\\"")]
