Spaces in filenames are often problematic in the Unix, due to Unix's
tradition of using space as a separator. i don't know if you can
possibly get the quoting correct in Make code, but you might be able
to adjust your find command:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/cvs/s11n.net/trunk$ touch 'foo bar'
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/cvs/s11n.net/trunk$ find . -name 'foo bar' -printf '"%f"\n';
"foo bar"

But that'll break once a name as double-quote chars in it. find has a
-print0 option which solves this problem when used together with
'xargs -0', but -print0's output won't be read properly by make. You
might be able to work around it by using a combination of find
-print0/xargs -0, and sed. Be aware, though, that the -print0/-0
options aren't in non-GNU find/xargs (AFAIK, at least not on stock
Solaris installations).

Or maybe one of the make gurus can provide something nicer.
