winmakemakefile.py tries to allow for spaces in the python install
path, by adding quotes around the appropriate filenames. It doesn't
quite get this correct; sometimes the quotes end up in the middle of
the path.

Microsoft's NMAKE version 6.0 is happy with this (!!!!)  unless there
is also a space in the name. I guess most users of freeze on windows
do not use the same path as the binary distribution.

I've tested the following changes on systems with and without a space
in the path.

README

This directory contains a number of Python programs that are useful
while building or extending Python.

bgen		Generate complete extension modules from a
		description.  Still under development!

faqwiz		FAQ Wizard.
		See http://grail.cnri.reston.va.us/cgi-bin/faqw.py
		for a live example.

freeze		Create a stand-alone executable from a Python program.

modulator	Interactively generate boiler plate for an extension
		module.  Works easiest if you have Tk.

scripts		A number of useful single-file programs, e.g. tabnanny.py
		(by Tim Peters), which checks for inconsistent mixing
		of tabs and spaces.

versioncheck	A tool to automate checking whether you have the latest
		version of a package (by Jack Jansen).
