Apparently there are very few folks who are doing this... and they
are wizards anyways :-)
The problem is that this REALLY complicates the parsing of the
ifhp.conf file. I was going to put in " ... " as part of the syntax,
but then ran into the 'escape' problem. So I did a study of what
parameter values were going to be passed IN THE CONFIGURATION FILE
and found that they were very small.
By the way, users can do:
lpr "-Zop=some space here,op2=some space there"
and this works as the parsing for this is done BEFORE expanding
things in [ name=xxxx ]. Sorry if this seems a little confused,
but it was clear when I wrote it...
