Spaces are difficult to deal with in shell scripts.  In some areas of
the configure script the script needs to triple-escape paths in order
to survive the various expansions and re-parsing.  We are already
supporting Windows paths for MinGW.  You can imagine that supporting
paths with backslashes poses additional challenges for a shell
environment.

If there is some area of the GraphicsMagick script which can be
identified as the cause of the problem, please bring it to my
attention so I can fix it.
