+# IDF versions <=v4.3 didn't support spaces in paths to ESP-IDF or projects.
+# Therefore it was okay to use spaces as separators in EXTRA_COMPONENT_DIRS,
+# same as it was done in the legacy GNU Make based build system.
+# CMake build system used 'spaces2list' function to convert space-separated
+# variables into semicolon-separated lists, replacing every space with a

+#
+# In IDF 4.4 and later, spaces in project path and ESP-IDF path are supported.
+# This means that EXTRA_COMPONENT_DIRS and COMPONENT_DIRS variables now should
+# be semicolon-separated CMake lists.
+#
+# To provide compatibility with the projects written for older ESP-IDF versions,
+# this script attempts to convert these space-separated variables into semicolon-
+# separated ones. Note that in general this cannot be done unambiguously, so this
+# script will still report an error if there are multiple ways to interpret the
