'apt-cyg' should work for Windows Accounts with spaces #50

I don't know what the possible values for last-cache are in setup.rc, but since 
my account name has a <SPACE> in it, the following works.

Also, you did quote the mkdir and cd in ONE place, but another one was left 
unquoted.

$ apt-cyg --version
apt-cyg version 0.59

$ diff /usr/bin/apt-cyg /usr/bin/apt-cyg.DIST
80c80
<     print $0

---
>     print $1
292,293c292,293
<   mkdir -p "$cache/$mirrordir/$dn"
<   cd "$cache/$mirrordir/$dn"

---
>   mkdir -p $cache/$mirrordir/$dn
>   cd $cache/$mirrordir/$dn

thanks,

I guess i'm not convinced that Cygwin itself is quite capable of dealing with 
spaces

cygwin warning:

  Preferred POSIX equivalent is: /cygdrive/c/Users/Stephen
  CYGWIN environment variable option "nodosfilewarning" turns off this warning.
  Consult the user's guide for more details about POSIX paths:
