I inserted a pair of "" but not in the
place where they were originally.  Now maxima.bat
works even if Maxima installed in the directory
with spaces.  Unfortunately usual
configure/make/make install can't handle such
situation but maybe Windows installer (InnoSetup?)
could do the job. In any case final maxima.bat
should work well.

As for ACL.  I'd like to play with it but
as far as I know demo version is not suitable
for building maxima - it can't create images.
Am I right?
