Comment(by cowwoc@…):

 Ryan,

 Many users name their boot volume something with a space in it. Telling
 them to use a different path isn't a simple matter. Besides, I'm really
 irked by how often people try to sweep this kind of bug under the rug.
 There is no denying this is a bug. It's quite easy to fix, it just shows
 up in more places.

 This bug report is specific to building MacPorts. If I have problems with
 a specific port I will file a separate bug report for it in the future.
 The number of ports I plan on using will be small, and I will try to
 submit patches whenever I can, so don't worry :)
