This was seven years ago, and not surprisingly, the patch doesn't apply
any more.

But I think the approach here seemed good -- going back in the buffer
and check whether you find something that matches a file on the file
system (if I understood the patch correctly).

Is there still interest in making this work, or has everybody given up
on using ffap with file names with spaces?
