It's easy to fix some, it's almost impossible to fix all instances in a way such that the absolute names to installed programs and libraries can contain whitespace.
For Windows users there is actually some hope since Windows provides a way to obtain an obfusticated path which does not contain any spaces. Translating user-provided paths to ones without spaces may avoid many problems. However, any use of 'pwd' to obtain the current directory path might return a path which does contain spaces.
