j> Are there any plans for future support of filenames with spaces?
No solid plans. I have an idea on how to do it but it could cause
incompatibilities in some areas.
The problem is that it's virtually impossible to do this using a
traditional escape mechanism. When you consider all the ways variable
values are interpreted, get their values, all the different make
functions, etc. it's a daunting situation. Fundamentally, the entire
syntax of make (not just GNU make: even the POSIX standard for make) is
"word based" and is not friendly to spaces inside a filename.
