changeset 22637:589803e5ce7b

I've personally seen a few people have problems because they tried to build from a path containing spaces. After seeing the ticket on trac dealing with that, I decided to put this hack in. Anyone who doesn't want this should feel free to make use of 'mtn disapprove'. Fixes #2949.
