Install fails when there's a space in .node-gyp path #121

I have OS X and install is blowing up because I have a space in my home folder path. It looks like there's code somewhere that's not escaping spaces.

To test this, I created a new user with a home folder of "/Users/test/". Everything ran fine.

I then moved that user's home folder to "/Volumes/Macintosh HD/Users/test/". The install did not work with this error message:

  CXX(target) Release/obj.target/bcrypt_lib/src/blowfish.o
clang: error: no such file or directory: 'HD/Users/test/.node-gyp/0.8.12/src'
clang: error: no such file or directory: 'HD/Users/test/.node-gyp/0.8.12/deps/uv/include'
clang: error: no such file or directory: 'HD/Users/test/.node-gyp/0.8.12/deps/v8/include'
clang: error: no such file or directory: 'HD/Users/test/.node-gyp/0.8.12/deps/openssl/openssl/include'

There is no such file or directory, of course, because the directory it's looking for is just everything after the space in the file path.

Here's the console output for an install with no spaces in the home path:
