In fact my modifications failed, and it turns out to be rather more
complicated than I imagined to support directory names with spaces,
everywhere they might required.  Shell scripts and Makefiles end up
with multiple levels of quoting around almost everything, and I'm
not sure it is worth adding the bother to the normal case, just to
handle an extremely rare case.  Instead, I am inclined to detect a
build path with spaces early on, and reject it.
