We could add it to prog-modes. Here it is. I'll send the file to xemacs-patches only as a followup. I can commit it, if you like. xemacs-packages/prog/prog-modes/ChangeLog: 2000-07-13 Adrian Aichner <aichner(a)ecf.teradyne.com&gt; * mode-compile.el (mc--build-output-args): Protect filename arguments by double-quotes to handle paths with embedded SPACE on Windows NT. * mode-compile.el (mc--set-command): Ditto. * mode-compile.el (mc--shell-compile): Ditto. * mode-compile.el (makefile-compile): Ditto. * mode-compile.el: Based on mode-compile.el 2.27 from http://www.tls.cena.fr/~boubaker/distrib/.
