Yes. I need to call shell-quote-argument when constructing the command
line

    ...
    (shell-command-on-region (point-min) (point-max)
      (format "%s --members --output=%s -" "etags"
        (shell-quote-argument (vps-tags-filename))))

I have uploaded a new version with better support for spaces file and
directory names.


I have not run into this before because on windows I always set the
HOME environment variable to something like c:/vj. Emacs then looks
after .emacs in HOME (~/.emacs -> c:/vj/.emacs). I don't want my home
directory and ~ in Emacs to be c:/Document And Settings...<stuff I
cannot remember>... .
