This patch also arbitrarily breaks handling of apostrophes and \xFF characters 
in filenames; it probably is a marginal improvement, but any change to the 
format should IMHO start with an explicit and consistent specification of how 
quoting is supposed to work in audit.rules, and then implementing exactly that.

If we do have to change the file format to support spaces, let's do it, but 
let's also make sure that we don't need to change it again soon to fix 
different artifacts of the parser implementation.
