Subject:	Makefile for emacs throws an error when username contains spaces

I experienced the following error while running "make install" for 
cygwin emacs:

chown: invalid user: `Matthew'

I corrected the problem by encapsulating the following variables in 
quotes within Makefile and Makefile.in:

$${USERNAME}
$${USER}
$${installuser}
