makepkg cannot handle blanks in filenames

i know, using blanks in filenames is ... well ... or better said ... (...)...

but if you use them (no philosophy about that), makepkg will not work:

[damir@Asteraceae damir]$ cd building/GYach Enhanced/
[damir@Asteraceae GYach Enhanced]$ ls

Okay.  Please file a bug report if you haven't already, and I'll take look-see.
