Synopsis: make_install and other scripts don't work if ISE_EIFFEL has spaces or special chars
Description
The make_install script (and probably a whole host of other things, including generated Makefiles) won't run properly if the value of ISE_EIFFEL is a directory path that contains spaces or characters that are special to the shell. Perhaps most Unix users avoid such names. It is probably not that hard to fix (just involves proper quoting in a number of places) but may not be high priority.
