When using $VISUAL or $EDITOR to specify the editor for long comments,
darcs does not handle spaces in the variable correctly.  For example,

    VISUAL=emacs darcs rec -am foo --edit-long-comment

works (launches emacs), but

    VISUAL='emacs -nw' darcs rec -am foo --edit-long-comment

Will fail to find a program called 'emacs -nw' in $PATH, and will
instead launch vi.
