I remember a discussion on a German list on this topic last year, in 
November. Using double quotes around the file name with spaces still 
collides with a file name like 'd"amlicher Name'.

That's right. Since some packages have "patched" versions of these 
input routines it will take some years until this scheme will work in 
teTeX 3 in any case.
