Patches for path with spaces

Hi,

last week I tried to installed mod_perl-1.99_04 on a Windows system. I
though it was a good idea to use the Apache binary package. Unfortunately
the Apache installer suggest the path "\Programme\Apache Group\Apache" which
contain a space (the english version will be \Program Files\Apache
Group\Apache, which have two spaces :-).

mod_perl doesn't like these spaces in the path to Apache. The solution is
that every path that is passed to some external tool like linker or shell
need to be quoted. I append a patch that does this. This had at least
allowed me to build and run mod_perl. I didn't have looked at the config
files that are necessary for make test. There are still paths in it which
needs quote around. So make test doesn't work with this patch.
