Actually, it appears to me that we have a 100% solution. The user can 
build quotes into the command quite easily, so that handles the spaces 
issue, and we do know that backslashes always work, so expanding %p with 
backslashes handles that part of it.

(Side note about the patch that was applied: the system-dependent path 
representation probably belongs in path.c, so we could avoid those 
#ifdef WIN32 bits that Tom hates so much ... )
