Re: Embedded spaces in directory names

Unfortunately there is no reliable way to use spaces inside filenames in
make.

The best you can do (and this is horrible, I know) is to use some other
character to represent spaces for filenames in your makefile, then you
can replace them with spaces using $(subst ...) within your command
scripts.
