Summary:                    AIX linker chokes on spaces in rpath
Description: 
I was looking into why so many tests were failing on my AIX 5.3 dashboard:

    http://open.cdash.org/viewTest.php?onlyfailed&buildid=2378283

It seems to come down to the linker's -blibpath option. Compare the below two
invocations---the only difference is "My Tests" in the first one, and "My_Tests"
in the second:

host:~/Dashboards/My Tests/CMake-build/Tests/COnly> env OBJECT_MODE=32
/usr/bin/gcc  -mminimal-toc -O0     CMakeFiles/COnly.dir/conly.c.o
CMakeFiles/COnly.dir/foo.c.o  -o COnly  libtestc1.a libtestc2.so
-Wl,-blibpath:"/home/cport/Dashboards/My
Tests/CMake-build/Tests/COnly:/usr/lib:/lib"
ld: 0706-014 The -b Tests/CMake-build/Tests/COnly option is not recognized.
collect2: ld returned 255 exit status

host:~/Dashboards/My Tests/CMake-build/Tests/COnly> env OBJECT_MODE=32
/usr/bin/gcc -mminimal-toc -O0 CMakeFiles/COnly.dir/conly.c.o
CMakeFiles/COnly.dir/foo.c.o -o COnly libtestc1.a libtestc2.so
-Wl,-blibpath:"/home/cport/Dashboards/My_Tests/CMake-build/Tests/COnly:/usr/lib:/lib"
(no error)

This should probably be checked when CMake first looks at the compiler/linker,
as a fail-fast behavior would be helpful here.

(I checked that this isn't a problem with gcc or even collect2 mishandling the
option; I get the same error even if I pass -blibpath:"..." directly to ld.)
