Would probably be pretty trivial to add this feature though.  Would  
just replace '\ ' with space and '\\' with \.  Perhaps allow double  
quotes and/or single quotes as well, for which escaping spaces would  
not be required (example: "My SoundFont.sf2"), in which case '\'' and  
'\"' should be added to the escape list.

It looks like fluid_cmd.c and fluid_settings.c are the only 2  
locations that use fluid_strtok.  It doesn't look like it would hurt  
the functionality of its use in fluid_settings.c to add the above  
described features, so these changes could just be added to  
fluid_strtok.
