POV-Ray will render files with spaces in their names from the command 
line, but it fails if there is a space in a *directory* that is 
specified in the path.

this works: pvengine "the image.pov"
this does not: pvengine "a folder with spaces\image.pov"

I'm also using Win2k.

Note that this CANNOT be a problem with the shell, as the command line 
is passed as one string to WinMain, or via GetCommandLine in Windows. 
The application is responsible for splitting out parameters.  (usually 
in the C runtime startup code before calling main, so it still may be 
outside of the POV code)
