Hi!
Just a quick thought, any special reason HOME doesn't contain a
"legal" path, escaped, as it probably (?) should be on a real unix

The one problem I see immediately with *any* automated solution of this
sort is that you can actually *have* two users, e.g., "Alan Miles" and
"Alan_Miles", in some situations (in large domains, for example).
Neither extra options to /bin/mkpasswd nor scripting will help here --
both will do

Alan,
The "fix" below has a few problems (one of which is unconditionally
removing /etc/passwd). IMO, it's better to fix the scripts that have
improper quoting, or, barring that, unset HOME in your Windows environment
(or modify /etc/profile) and make sure your username doesn't contain a
space.
