I could probably make cvsnt cope with this but ViewCVS will probably never
work with it, as it uses RCS 5.7 (which is static and I guess never changed
any more, since the RCS file format doesn't change).

Unix does support spaces in usernames (and everywhere else) but it's pretty
unusual to do so...  The OS will work with it but a lot of apps won't, which
is the same problem that NT has.
