Howdy, I have attached to this message a patch to run_tests.sh to support running the script when some of the paths have spaces in them. It turns out when running this script under cygwin, some of the Windows paths involved have spaces in them, resulting in errors. The fix involves placing in double quotes any variable referring to a path. If this patch seems okay, I would like to commit the changes, unless someone else would like the honors.
