Since switching to Windows XP, I am forced to use pathnames with spaces. In
.profile, how do you quote a pathname with spaces so that cd $DIRNAME and
ls $DIRNAME will work? I can write a $DIRNAME that will work in makefiles
or when invoked from the bash shell as ls "$DIRNAME", but I can't find a way
that lets me omit the quotes when using ls from the shell prompt.
