Message:
We're not going to fix this. There isn't even an analog over in UNIX land as
spaces in paths are invalid for shebang lines, so I can't even run gem, let
alone rake.
Workaround: don't use spaces in your paths.

This is still a problem.
How to reproduce: install ruby into a dir with space, install
spork. Fails (spork installs fine elsewhere). Rubygems
should be quoting the path.

What does this have to do with rubygems?
