Makefile don't work with filenames like "Math project.tex"

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create an file with a whitespace (For example "The Tetons and the Snake
River.tex") in the filename.
2. Type 'make'

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The makefile should invoke the necessary actions for the file, instead the
makefile treats every part of the filename (delimited with a space) as a
single file.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Latest Svn (Rev 44), Mac OS X and Terminal.app

Please provide any additional information below.
I don't know if this is possible with make, but I think whitespace-support
is important.

Interesting - I thought I had killed all such filename issues.  I'll look into 
this.
 Sorry it took so long to get back to you.  Busy few months.

Making this low priority, since the workaround is so simple (don't do spaces).  
I
still want to look into it, and will gladly accept patches if I'm just too slow.

I have done a lot more research into this, and it is pretty much impossible 
with GNU 
make.  The use of spaces as delimiters is very fundamental to its operation, 
and fixing 
this is a mess.
