File nmes with spaces in them seem to turn up on a semi-regular basis, so I 
was wondering whether a patch that spotted them and applied catcode magic when 
they did appear would be in order. If so would a pure TeX solution. which 
would make hevay uise of \epandafter in addition to catcode magic and 
\aftergroup, be a good idea or would milder TeX that was expanded inline be 
better? Using either is IMHO serious brain damage given a file name that does 
not need this treatment.

Free clue: do not hold your breath for me coming up with such a patch, I have 
lots of stuff that will be "real work" to do, preferably by about yesterday.
