Dev-cpp has an include subdirectory so that's not the problem, after all 
it's supposed to search the system headers without any intervention.

The problem is known issue with mingw in that it doesn't handle quoted 
arguments correctly and breaks at the spaces. (if I remember correctly) 
You can "solve" the problem by installing dev-cpp in a path without 
spaces in it, like c:\dev-cpp.
