Why shouldn't they accept paths with spaces in them? *nix supports that, generally. So long as the paths are properly escaped in any input, things should work. If they don't, it's a bug.
GNU Make doesn't handle embedded spaces:
$ cat Makefile all: foo\ bar
foo\ bar: foo\ bar.o
$ ls foo bar.c Makefile
$ make
make: *** No rule to make target foo bar.o', needed by foo bar'. Stop.
Make seems unable to find the link from "foo bar.c" to "foo bar.o" Shell quoting with ' ' does not apply.
It's probably best to avoid spaces in filenames from the outset.
