I see.

This would work fine by using LyxLex to read it and adding "quotes"
around the file name. Lars seems to enjoy a lot removing lyxlex uses
anyway. We'll try to convince him that using lyxlex for depfile is the
right thing to do.

The general problem is not really input@path, but rather files with
spaces in name in general: trying to do
\input{foo bar}
or
\input{my dir/foobar}
does not work with LaTeX. We cannot really use Duncan's trick [*] (as far
as I understand it :) since we do not have access to the places where
the \input is done. Moreover, in some places \InputIfFileExists does
an \openin, and this is what breaks \input@path with spaces. Duncan,
do you think we can come up with a clever definition of \input@path
which gives the right catcode to spaces?
Another way out of the input@path nightmare is to change the value of
TEXINPUTS before running latex. We have to be careful in doing this,
especially since the syntax of TEXINPUTS is different between latex
versions. Definitely not something we want to do for 1.1.6fix2.
Thoughts?
