If spaces are the concern, using quotes whenever you reference the

Sage scripts where we should be using quotes to make sure paths with
spaces work properly -- see, for example,
http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/8303 ...which allows one to
call Sage on scripts whose name or path includes spaces, and needs
review!

Sage will not even try to build if there are spaces in the path. See
spkg/base/prereq-0.7-install
echo `pwd` | grep " "
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
echo ""
echo "*********************************************************"
echo ""
echo " ERROR: Sage will (probably) not build correctly if there is a space"
echo " in the path to the current directory."
echo ""
echo " Path = `pwd`"
echo ""
echo "*********************************************************"
exit 1
fi
There's plenty of stuff in Sage that is either not quoted or badly quoted.
