+ The Bison distribution from GnuWin32 appears to have a bug that
+ causes Bison to malfunction when installed in a directory with
+ spaces in the name, such as the default location on English
+ installations <filename>C:\Program Files\GnuWin32</filename>.
+ Consider installing into <filename>C:\GnuWin32</filename> instead.
