I agree.  I just wanted to make that clear.

What's wrong with spaces in filenames?  Nothing as long as you
use an intelligent shell (bash, tcsh, ...) and a filesystem
that support it.  The problem is that the combination of AES
and current desktops (a desktop is a shell!) is less intelligent.
Leave the MiNTLib intact and change the GEM stuff.
