A couple updates for anyone who cares:

1. As you may have noticed, due to various complaints here on the
   tracker, the new option `auth-source-pass-extra-query-keywords' is
   now disabled by default.

2. The changes currently installed contain a bug involving spaces in
   file names. Basically, all other back ends allow spaces in an entry's
   user and host fields. The second (throwaway) patch below demonstrates
   this, and the first attempts to make things right.

In my mind, item #2 is a bug that needs fixing on the release branch,
and I plan on doing so in the coming days. If there are questions or
concerns, please let them be known. Thanks.
