[Gnu-arch-users] ANN: Spaces in filenames

[Christian Thäter]

I just started to work on the "permit spaces in filenames" issue.
If anyone else works on the same thing or want to help, please tell me.

It will take looong time because i'm going to hollyday for 1 full month from 
8.nov on.
Finishing estimate based on my lazyness and low priority is mid Dez to end of 
Jan. :)

Short design notice:

#1) make a generalized str_ engine for libhackerlab which converts between 
escaped and unescaped strings (currently C String literal escapes and some 
extensions ('\ ' is not C99 Standard). But will handle other languages as well 
(HTML 'ä', unicode ) [hopefully tom likes to integrate that into 
libhackerlab]

#2a) grep out all I/O in libarch which writes strings which need to be escaped 
and apply the escape handling there.
#2b) make all tokenizers backslash-aware.

Cheers Christian
