Summary: CGIHttpServer fails if python exe has spaces

Initial Comment:
In addition to the problem noted in #1436206 with spaces in the file names of 
scripts being executed, if Python has been installed in a directory with spaces 
(C:\Program Files\Python) the server will fail to execute the script because 
the name of the executable is not quoted properly.

My attempts to fix this have failed since just putting quotes around the exe 
name "C:\\Program Files\..." doesn't work, however we have found that just 
quoting the part of the path with spaces 'C:\\"Program Files"\\...' will work.  

It seems a bit odd that this bug has persisted for so long. A fix would be nice 
since this module is really good to give to my students (doing python web 
development for the first time) so they don't have to worry about server 
installation issues. 

Steve
