digitalmars.D - Workaround for installing D1 on a directory with spaces on Windows

I really wanted to get D1 to work in a path with spaces, but it couldn't  
seem to find the phobos library even if I hardcoded the path in sc.ini and  
used quotes. I came up with a workaround that I thought I would share. I  
just used the short version of the path which is intended for DOS  
compatibility. I found a little GPL-licensed utility that converts a  
Windows path (which can have spaces) to the equivalent DOS path (which  
does not have spaces). The utility is at  
http://gravityfx.org/2005/07/04/dos-path/.

I'm adding the next line for future searchers on a related error; so they  
might find this:
object.d: module object cannot read file 'object.d'
