Actually, it appears to me that we have a 100% solution. The user can
build quotes into the command quite easily, so that handles the spaces
issue, and we do know that backslashes always work, so expanding %p with
backslashes handles that part of it.
(Side note about the patch that was applied: the system-dependent path
representation probably belongs in path.c, so we could avoid those
#ifdef WIN32 bits that Tom hates so much ... )
