The install script will fail and complain about missing program <piece of the
pwd> when any part of the pwd has a space.  Quotes around the path variable
assignment would fix this pretty fast.

Simply unpacking the files to a path that doesn't have spaces will fix this. 
That or add in the quotes in the script.

this handles spaces in the path as well as in arguments (not that any legal
arguments have spaces...)
