This extra check, part of "make distcheck", that verifies that the package builds even when the srcdir or builddir contains a space, would be useful for more packages. On mingw, it is frequent to have spaces in directories. Could Automake offer this check, if a certain Automake option is specified in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE? Bruno
