Well, I meant slime.el instead of swank.el. Sorry :-(

Hello Slime developers,

Could we use split-string-and-unquote instead of split-string to process inferior-lisp-program in swank.el? That would have the advantage of preserving spaces embedded in command arguments and names. This is very useful on systems were those are pervasive like MS-Windows...

Here is attached a small patch against a recent tarball (2009-12-30) that implements the change. As far as I can tell that change does not break past normal behavior of the code.

Thanks,
