Changes (by duncan):

  * difficulty:  normal => easy (<4 hours)
  * summary:  Include-dirs, extra-lib-dirs with spaces doesn't work under
              Windows => Check Include-dirs, extra-lib-dirs
              etc exist at configure time.

Comment:

 It should be easy to check at configure time if all the dirs we will need
 actually exist. If they do not exist it's a good indication of a mistake.
 Should these be warnings or errors? To help with the misunderstanding in
 the original example perhaps the warning message should mention that paths
 with spaces need to use ""s.
