Ahhhh. Don't do that. BibTeX and "spaces in paths" don't live well
together. In fact they don't live together at all.
We jump through a lot of hoops to ensure that your BibTeX data base will
continue to work if it lives in a path with spaces. I don't see any reason
at all to add a heap of fragile code to cover the .bst file too.
In my view this one get's filed under WONTFIX.
