[issue21153] bdist_rpm fails if project contains files with spaces in the names

[Jason R. Coombs]

New submission from Jason R. Coombs:

In https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/issue/178, Eduard reported an issue that setuptools fails to install due to files in its structure with spaces in the filenames. These files have been around for some time (over two years in Distribute), but are now revealing a limitation in bdist_rpm.

The aforementioned ticket demonstrates the issue, and I will be providing a script to replicate the failure shortly.
