This is a slightly tricky problem; comments welcome. It'd be nice to see a simple and relatively clean solution to the problem. I think "use double-quotes when pathnames contain spaces" is a plausible answer.
The POSIX-style shell tosses the double quotes at first point of use. Arguments must be escaped varying amounts of times to survive a given data path, and the data path may not be a fixed one.
I agree that Windows is even more difficult, particlarly when there is a POSIX to Windows translation layer.
