[PD] image object and spaces in filenames

[marius schebella]

yes, the lack of an escape character is a pain, but in this particular 
case I am not using the path at all. it is a local file, in the same 
folder as the patch. it is not a pd problem, but i suppose a bug in image.
the image object is a very simple (and old) object, but it is also quite 
powerful.
marius.
ps.:another powerful ui object it pddplink.
