Subject: Filenames with spaces: very rare in Cygwin

In the entire Cygwin provision there are only 3 filenames containing spaces,
all under /usr/ssl/man. Up until recently, I think there was only one, being
/usr/local/ssl/man/man7/Modes\ of\ DES.7. The other two are under
/usr/local/ssl/man/man3/.
Nothing is broken, but this occurrence (just 3 in ~70,000) is possibly
sufficiently rare to maybe merit attention and amendment? To, dunno,
Modes_of_DES.7 and similar?
This might break things, in which case obviously leave as is. Sorry for
mentioning it. In any case, I ask for purely selfish reasons: the spaces
screw up an otherwise rather neat script for fiddling about with +R and +S
files when achieving a portable version of Cygwin on CD.
