Build issue with jl.config

[thchr]

In trying to build on Windows 10, in Matlab R2017a, with the MinGW64 compiler I get the following error when running jl.config (after specifying location of julia executable):

Error in jl.build (line 288)
            eval(mex_cmd);

Error in jl.config (line 268)
            jl.build;

I'm not sure if this issue is related to #41?

In addition: I noted the following minor issue in jl.m on line 246 - if the path includes spaces, the mex command will not execute (at least on my machine); it appears fixable by changing src to ['"' src "'"] (though I'm not sure whether this issue also relates to the above?)
