+You must make sure that any paths and path components are properly
+surrounded with double-quotes if they contain spaces. For example,
+C<$potential_libs> could be (literally):
+
+	"-Lc:\Program Files\vc\lib" msvcrt.lib "la test\foo bar.lib"
+
+Note how the first and last entries are protected by quotes in order
+to protect the spaces.
