In Emacs trunk, building in directories whose name contains space should
now work. (Installing into such a directory probably still doesn't work.)

Downloaded and put the emacs24.3 sources in a directory whose name contained
1 space. The configure script seemed not able to interpret the directory
name properly, as it could only grasp the word preceeding the space in the 
directory name. I verified that this was the problem, as i changed the directory
name to contain no spaces and the configure script ran beautifully.
