Normally, mkoctfile should be robust against spaces in install path
(at least when started from command prompt, not from octave prompt),
but apparently I didn't fix all possible cases. I'll have a look. Maybe you
could use the "-v" flag and report the commands that are executed
internally by mkoctfile; this would help locating the problem.
For the time being, it's probably safer to install octave into a location
without a space in its path.

There's actually a bug here: mkoctfile looks for --link_stand_alone, instead
of the documented --link-stand-alone (note the underscores).
