Subject: dot/bash_profile (__mdw_addto): Quote new value properly.
X-Git-Url: https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/ucgi/~mdw/git/profile/commitdiff_plain/584e04e131edf64a326f4b2ccb2633d3e45c6a68

dot/bash_profile (__mdw_addto): Quote new value properly.

This surfaces on Windows, where directories on the PATH commonly have
spaces in their names (particularly `Program Files').

It doesn't look security critical: you have to be on the other side of
the airtight hatch to mess with my initial environment anyway.
