The fix is unbelievably simple.
Patch attached and here's the change.. a one liner, simply add the
following line immediately after it reads the filename from the command
line (args[0]). The line replaces a space with '\ ' which is the proper
path expansion for directories with spaces in the filenames. Not sure if
there's a more gramatically correct way to do this, but this works.
afile.replace(' ', '\\ ')
So, with the attached patch, this can be fixed and applied to package.
** Attachment added: "Fix broken filename when spaces appear in the name."
