I am not a Windows users but I see that Microsoft encourages to use
file names with spaces and non-US characters. It is IMHO a good idea
to make them work easily in TeX Live. If it does not break anything, I
would vote to do it but having meritocracy in mind I am not the person
with the right to decide.
