Summary: popen does not like filenames with spaces

Initial Comment:
The argument for the target executable are passed as a 
string to popen. The problem is that with filenames which 
contains spaces, the argument breaking routine will fail 
and create two arguments for one filename. 
 
It would be more convenient if one could pass the 
argument to popen as a list of string.
