mount-2.12r-alt6

I wanted to write paths with spaces in /etc/fstab, but couldn't learn how to do this from the documentation (man fstab).

Solution -- write "\040":

/WIN/Documents\040and\040Settings/User/Рабочий\040стол  /var/ftp/Рабочий\040стол\040из\040Windows       none bind,auto  0       0

I suggest to add this to the manpage.

(I found out the way to do it by manually mounting these paths from command line, then looking into /etc/mtab.)

В 4.0/branch исправления не будут вноситься уже технически (заглушена очередь на сборку), поэтому прошу ошибки, актуальные для sisyphus/p7/t7, перевесить на текущие ветки или сизиф.
