Script arguments get split on spaces, passed as multiple arguments

[spiffytech]

If an argument passed to my script contains spaces, even if the argument is quoted, my script receives each space-separated segment as a separate argument.

Ordinarily I would backslash-escape the spaces, but I'm running this self-contained .run file from an installer tool that doesn't give me that option.

Please update makerun to support script arguments with spaces, so I can e.g., pass in file paths with spaces in them and actually use makerun in my installer :)

I expect it's as simple as wrapping each argument in quotes inside $SCRIPTARGS?
