New submission from Christian Ullrich <chris at chrullrich.net>:
If hhc.exe is on the PATH when HTML Help is being built, the build fails because make.bat does not correctly remember the fact. The set command is very finicky with trailing spaces, leading to this:
'"hhc "' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
I suppose the "official" build does not rely on autodetection. In that case, a better fix would be to require setting HTMLHELP explicitly.
PR (for the single-character fix) incoming.
