+        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 C:\Program Files\GnuWin32.
+        Consider installing into C:\GnuWin32 instead.
