Dear Ken, if you don't like cygport you can modify your copy by yourself, as Mathias can do, and Yaakov is free to modify his source as he prefers. As one of the package maintainer, with very very few packages compared to Yaakov (http://cygwin.com/cygwin-pkg-maint) I have no problem with this not-existent bug. Don't use filename with a space inside is a WELL KNOWN rule of any UNIX system. If MS made a stupid decision, we should not follow it.
