1.7.1 release and Windows

[Travis Paul <Tr...@visPaul.me>]

Hello CouchDB users and devs,

While the recent 1.7.1 CouchDB release included many new desired features and fixes, we have encountered an issue on Windows in which the upgrade is not seamless.

My team currently has CouchDB 1.6.1 running in a production Windows environment, and the existing installation file path contains a space. We would like to upgrade to 1.7.1 due to the recent security issue but discovered during our testing that our current file paths would not work. Moving many TB of data into new directories will be extremely challenging for this particular environment. 

There is an open Pull Request which appears to fix this issue: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/pull/997

If this PR cannot be merged, is it at all possible to roll a 1.6.2 release containing only the security fix and restore the previous 1.6.1 behavior where spaces in file paths worked?

Much thanks,
Travis
