Y'all:
I cannot speak with respect to any particular software or other distros,
but Debian is just fine with any UTF-8 character in file and directory
names, including special symbols, Greek, Hebrew, Cryllic.
Hope this helps.

How might a build work or fail if the SWORD path contains any non-ASCII
characters?
This is certainly conceivable for Windows users whose locale is not
English.
I cannot speak for Linux users.

So there's a two-fold failure during compile when handling paths with
spaces.
The first is that the build fails when the code is in a path that has
spaces in it. This is because instances of "-I${some_foo}/include" in
autotools are not wrapped with quotation marks.
The second is when you invoke: ./configure --prefix="/some/path with a
space/in/it" --sysconfdir="/som/other/path with spaces". This is
because SWICU_DATA and GLOBCONFPATH are not properly escaped for that
situation, either.
An additional frustration, since I was in the autotools already to fix
this (the path on the CI server has spaces in it, because I
absentmindedly created the job with spaces in it) is that I can't
finish a compile with autotools out of stream (I like to do my builds
in a subdir of the main source dir so that things build artifacts and
generated objects aren't being intermingled with the code).
So I've attached a patch that fixes all of these problems.
