Thanks for your great work on the CygWin distribution. I've installed CygWin in the root directory "C:\Program Files (x86)\CygWin" (I know that it's not recommended to use spaces in the directory names), but my installation worked so far. I'd like to suggest a minor change when calling the _autorebase package. As far as I could see setup.exe calls 'cmd.exe /c C:\Program Files (x86)\CygWin\etc\postinstall\autorebase.bat'. This command fails because of the spaces in the directory name. It would be great if the command following the /c switch could be enclosed into double quotes and the command would succeed. Thanks in advance.
