I believe having a whitespace in directory name is not a very smart idea
under Unix. It may break many scripts. 

Nevertheless I adapted xcrysden script, and now it seems to be able to
deal with it (at least it works on my computer). You may try it
yourself. The script is attached to this email, you need to copy it to
your $XCRYSDEN_TOPDIR.
