On Windows XP, the user name can contain space characters, e.g., "Joe Smith". In this case, the loop that's used in numerous make files to recurse over subdirectories does not build correct command lines. The part "FULL_VERSION=$(FULL_VERSION)", which is meant to just pass on the value of FULL_VERSION, breaks into two parts, of which one defines a truncated FULL_VERSION value ("1.6.0-internal-Joe"), while the other defines a new target ("Smith_03_dec_2004_15_15"). The recursive gnumake invocation then finds no rules to build the new target and aborts.
