-rw-r--r-- 1 alex wallis None 54724 Feb 24 11:23 apps/lang/slovenscina.lang
-rw-r--r-- 1 alex wallis None 183896 Feb 24 11:23 apps/lang/svenska.lang

My user name does have a space in it and so far as i no i can't change that
in cygwin, so I have a work around for dealing with that.
I simply get cygwin to put my rb code into the folder that is just called

I don't no why this would have started being a problem now though as up til
now I have had no problems.
