Re: zcompsys space character problem

This has something to do with `compfiles'.  Comparing the _complete_debug
output for `ls a\ a/f' vs. `ls aa/f' shows (they're the same up to line
461 of _path_files):

: _path_files:461:for while; compfiles -r tmp1 a\ a/f
: _path_files:462:for while; tmp4=1 
: _path_files:464:for while if; [[ a\ a/f == */* ]]
: _path_files:465:for while then; tmp2=a\ a 
: _path_files:466:for while then; PREFIX=a\ a 
: _path_files:467:for while then; SUFFIX=/f 
: _path_files:478:for while if; ((  tmp4  ))
: _path_files:486:for while then; tmp2= 
: _path_files:487:for while then if; [[ -n  ]]
: _path_files:489:for while then elif; [[ -n  ]]
: _path_files:493:for while then else; compquote tmp1 tmp2

			: _path_files:461:for while; compfiles -r tmp1 aa/f
			: _path_files:462:for while; tmp4=0 
			: _path_files:464:for while if; [[ aa/f == */* ]]
			: _path_files:465:for while then; tmp2=aa 
			: _path_files:466:for while then; PREFIX=aa 
			: _path_files:467:for while then; SUFFIX=/f 
			: _path_files:478:for while if; ((  tmp4  ))
			: _path_files:562:for while if; [[ aa/f != */* ]]
			: _path_files:570:for while; testpath=aa/ 
			: _path_files:572:for while; tmp3=f 

Note how the code branches differently at line 478 because `compfiles'
fails at line 461 in the case with the space.

Changing line 461 from

	compfiles -r tmp1 "$tmp3"

to

	compfiles -r tmp1 "${(Q)tmp3}"

has the desired effect in this particular case, but I don't know if it is
always correct.  Sven, are you out there?
