Netenv - Linux Laptop Networkenvironment

After about an hour trying to work out why my netenv
configuration wasn't working I've put together the following
patch which allows spaces in the descriptions for the
nevenv environments.

e.g.:
feynman:/etc/netenv# grep netenv_id
feynman.home.woodall.me.uk-home
netenv_id="Home lan dhcp setup"

This patch is against the /sbin/netenv from Debian Sarge.
