Yes, I will do that, but the thing that surprised me is that CMake finds this 
directory at all! It may be something it finds in the registry, but the 
directory itself has nothing to do with the MS Visual Studio toolchain nor is 
it a directory that has an obvious connection to GTK (unless you descend deep 
enough).

Of course, the whitespace issue is a more pervasive one - it has given much 
more grief over the years than any benefits I can think.

Arjen
