spaces and distcheck

[deckrider]

Hi,

> From using automake (GNU automake) 1.10 on cygwin, I noticed that
'make distcheck' doesn't work when the build directory contains
spaces.  This seems to also be true on unix (the reason it was noticed
on cygwin is because the default home directory seems to contain
spaces).

Example:

mkdir "dir with spaces"
cd "dir with spaces"
/path/to/configure
make distcheck

Thanks,
Dave.
