I'm not sure that this -doc list is the most likely place to find someone 
who knows the answer.  I sort of suspect that the answer is actually "this 
will not work at all", but am not really equipped to verify that in the 
source.

I've cc'd Simon Gerraty, since he has been doing a lot of work with make 
and bmake recently; if he doesn't reply/know, asking on the -hackers list 
might get better exposure.

Simon: do we allow whitespace in target names in either fmake or bmake? 
If so, what are the escaping rules?

Thanks,

Ben
