Steve, Can you give me an example of using a token of spaces in a Makefile? I'm really having a hard time seeing why it would be proscribed in POSIX, too. I'm used to quoting a token if I want embedded spaces (and the use of spaces for structure in Python is one of the reasons I can't get excited about Python, nor do I like spaces in filenames).
