#197 gemkeyname (only on os x?) doesn't report "space"

at least under os x 10.7 with GEM: ver: 0.93.3 GEM: compiled: Nov 10 2011 gemkeyname doesn't report the symbol "space" when the spacebar is hit. insteat it generates an empty symbol, a space. That breaks for instance the reset funktion in 03.View_OSD.pd subpatch mousemove. so in case this behaviour is wanted, then it's a documentation error.

    the behaviour is not really "wanted", but hard to avoid.
    most window-systems provide a key->name mapping (e.g. spacebar->"space") but they are inconsistent across platforms (e.g. spacebar->" ").
    it's hardly feasible to fix all those inconsistent names in Gem.

    the 03.View_OSD-patch should probably have a fallback to also accept ' '. (which i just implemented)
