[Tilesathome] Possible inconsistency in handling of double quotes in tilesAtHome.conf on windows.

[Bjornman]

The problem is that the path is quoted in one place (in tilesgen.pl) but not
in another (tahconfig.pm).  To use it with spaces, the code needs to be
fixed in one of those places.

If you specify it in tilesathome.conf without quotes as
Inkscape=c:\Program Files\inkscape\inkscape
you'll need to change one line in tahconfig.pm from:
tahconfig.pm(line157): my $InkscapeV = `$Config->{Inkscape} --version`;
to
tahconfig.pm(line157): my $InkscapeV = `"$Config->{Inkscape}" --version`;

Cheers,
Bjorn
