This is in no way officially supported in POV-Ray also it has indeed always
worked.  Quotes are mandatory when specifying paths with spaces in POV-Ray
3.5 and in previous versions there was no official support for spaces in
paths or filenames.  That said, it does indeed still work for INI files, and
only INI files, but it simply cannot work for the command line because there
is no way of knowing where a command line option starts and a path ends if
the path contains spaces.
