[Ndiswrapper-general] ndiswrapper -i fails if path name contains spaces

[Stewart C. R. <sc...@sy...>]

I flagged this as a bug in Gentoo's bugzilla, but they consider it an 
upstream problem: <http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=112573>

Installation routine fails if driver directory contains spaces, for 
instance 'Drivers/Windows XP/driver.inf'.

This can usually be fixed by renaming the directory to something without
spaces, or cd'ing to the directory containing the .inf file.

Suggested improvement would be to use Perl's File::Basename and
File::Copy core modules -- rather than shelling out using backticks --
as they both handle file names without quoting issues.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. ndiswrapper -i 'Drivers/Windows XP/driver.inf'

Actual Results:
Installer fails with error message from basename

Expected Results:
Installed the driver binaries
