This is a real problem on Desktop OSes such as Mac OS X, where spaces
in directory names are common (The default volume name is "Macintosh
HD"). As the Linux desktops get better, the amount of GUI-bound users
will increase there as well. This will undoubtedly make spaces in
directory names more common across the board.
I understand that fixing this is hard because there are a ton of places
that are potentially broken, but that's no real excuse for closing
this. Let's leave it open for someone to fix.

Trying to support spaces in path names opens up a can of worms without
any real benefit.
If your administrator has made the mistake to give you a home directory
beneath such a path, complain to him/her. It is very likely that the
person is simply inexperienced.

I don't think so...
Perhaps "blanks in dirnames are a no-no for developers", but why one
should do exotic things like:
$cp /usr/local/bin/phpize /home/user/my_ext/phpize
$cd /home/user/my_ext
$vi phpize
...
$./phpize
Is it possible that one have no control over upper level dirs? I think
nothing should not be done in one and only one situation: the patch
will have some negative side effects. In the case I don't see ones.

why do you do that?
even if we fix this -> blanks in dirnames are a no-no for developers
this fires back in lots of places (e.g. find ... | xargs ... )
so it is an absolute bad idea in the first place ...

$mkdir "My Directory"
$cd "My Directory"
$touch config.m4
$phpize
usage: cp [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-f | -i] [-pv] src target
cp [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-f | -i] [-pv] src1 ... srcN directory
usage: cp [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-f | -i] [-pv] src target
cp [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-f | -i] [-pv] src1 ... srcN directory
mv: build/rules_pear.mk: No such file or directory
The problem is here:
(cd $phpdir && cp $FILES_BUILD $builddir/build)
(cd $phpdir && cp $FILES $builddir)
We consider that one should use "${phpdir}" and "${builddir}" to
eliminate the problem.
