IMO the problems arise from command lines and scripts, not from 
application code itself, because there spaces are treated as separators 
between arguments.

Whenever the interpretation of a command line is involved, the rules for 
proper markup of file or directory names with embedded spaces should be 
followed. I only know the procedures on Windows, where such file names 
have to be quoted - with all uncertainties in when to add and remove 
such quotes in scripts or other commandline parsers. How do other 
platforms or shells solve this issue?
