Re: Paths including spaces fail the installation: Patch

[Bernd Haug <bernd.haug@xaidat.com>]

Hello Achim!

Finally got to it; pulled up to current (cf shell output below),
appended your snippet to local.mk and did a clean install:

Problem seems to be, as before, that without proper quoting in the
right places *in the shell commands* paths with spaces fall apart into
separate arguments.

My (tiny and trivial) patch from back in Mar addressed only that and
the installation went off without a hitch with it.

Of course you're entirely right that the makefiles themselves do not
care, and the elisp doesn't have problems with it either.

Sorry for the delay and thank you for your consideration,
  Bernd
