Details

Running ./configure.py will produce a Makefile that doesn't compile when there are any spaces in the path (Windows and OSX).
Flags: flashplayer-triage+
In which path? the environment PATH or the source directory? Mozilla typically requires that your build directory not have any spaces in it, because the amount of quoting that would otherwise be requires is pretty monstrous. It can be done, though, if you really want to support that use-case.
Source directory path - encountered when users place their hg repository into "Documents and Settings". Very low priority bug.
