Note that the above Makefile snippet is provided by one of the
auto-tools (automake or libtool, I guess).  If you really want to fix
that for 0.3.x, you'd have to address this with those tools and then
regenerate the Makefiles.

I just tried to use a source path with a space, and it worked for the
CVS version.  However, the build procedure changed, so I can't tell if
this means the bug is fixed in latest auto tools, and anyway I can't
tell you if the latest auto tools work for the 0.3.x branch without
changes.

Thanks,
