A path containing square brackets causes the following error message: OPTLINK : Error 8: Illegal Filename

This happens if either the linker itself is located under a bracketed path, or the object file. For example, both of these scenarios cause failure:

D Compiler path:
C:\[Programming]\dmd2

Source path:
C:\[MySrc]\HelloWorld.obj
C:\[MySrc]\HelloWorld.d

I've also found this is a problem with the C++ linker, I'm assuming both are based on the same codeset.

Additionally, folders with '+' in them cause issue, and probably any number of other symbols (more testing would be needed)
