#865: Can't use command line options containing spaces

----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
I found myself wanting the other day to pass some specific RTS options to
GHC on the command line, with those options varying depending on the
version of GHC:
{{{ghc-options: --with-rtsopts="-N -qg"}}}
However, Cabal doesn't tokenize command line options, and GHC doesn't
treat multiple {{{--with-rtsopts}}} arguments as building up a single
string, so I found myself stuck. (I know about the "specify the options in
a {{{.c}}} file, and that's what I did, but it's less elegant.)
