ltmain.sh install does not support spaces in destdir, because it does
not quote destdir. this can be a serious problem for woe32 users.

Whitespace issues are all over ltmain.in.  It's easy to fix some, it's
almost impossible to fix all instances in a way such that the absolute
names to installed programs and libraries can contain whitespace.

For Windows users there is actually some hope since Windows provides a way to obtain an obfusticated path which does not contain any spaces. Translating user-provided paths to ones without spaces may avoid many problems. However, any use of 'pwd' to obtain the current directory path might return a path which does contain spaces.
