[Rd] Quote the path of graphics output in Sweave when it contains spaces

Hi,

I'm aware of the definition of a "valid filename" in
.SweaveValidFilenameRegexp, but I think it might be better to quote
the filename when it contains spaces instead of just giving a warning.
This should bring us safer LaTeX code (although I never use spaces in
paths).

Here is the simple patch:

Index: src/library/utils/R/SweaveDrivers.R
===================================================================
--- src/library/utils/R/SweaveDrivers.R	(revision 56193)

             }

             if (options$include) {
+                if (grepl("[[:space:]]", chunkprefix))
+                    chunkprefix = shQuote(chunkprefix, type = "cmd")
                 cat("\\includegraphics{", chunkprefix, "}\n", sep = "",
                     file = object$output)
                 linesout[thisline + 1L] <- srcline

Thanks!

Regards,
Yihui
