Great work.  Nice to see.  What are the chances of those changes being 
accepted upstream?   I am a bit concerned about the quote stuff. 
Putting quotes in and then taking them out.  Where do the quotes come 
from?  Is there another way to put paths with spaces into ninja?  Most 
of the tests except the depend stuff was passing with spaces in the path 
before these changes.  Is this all about the .d file contents?
