Ok, as proof of principle, on a teTeX 2 box I managed to manipulate a DVI
file to reference a PostScript file containing spaces and to then create a
valid PostScript file using dvips.
$cat trial.tex
\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
\section{This in insetgraphics}
\includegraphics{sub\string~dir/im\string~ge.eps}
foo
\end{document}
$ latex trial
$ dv2dt trial.dvi > trial.dtl
Edited the .dtl file by hand:
-... 'PSfile="sub~dir/im~ge.eps" ...'
+... 'PSfile="sub~dir/im ge.eps" ...'
Translated back to a dvi file
$ dt2dv trial.dtl trial2.dvi
$ cp "sub~dir/im~ge.eps" "sub~dir/im ge.eps"
$ dvips -o trial2.ps trial2
The resulting trial2.ps file works perfectly.
It shouldn't be hard to write a wrapper for dvips to manipulate quoted
file names in similar fashion.
