    Description

      Using precompiled headers on a project, which has a space in its target name, qmake escapes the spaces with "/\ " instead of "\ " for checking and creating the directory for the PCH.
      I tested Qt 5.2.1 (cherry-picked e20147d1d0cb02cae1424ae779b8392399fa8b24) and the current stable branch.
      Qt 4.8.5 correctly escapes the path.

      The following errors are emitted:

      Clang
      error: unable to open output file 'Name with spaces/c++.pch': 'Error opening output file 'Name with spaces/c++.pch': No
            such file or directory'
      
      GCC
      /usr/include/stdc-predef.h:1:0: fatal error: can't create precompiled header Name with spaces.gch/c++: No such file or directory
      

      See line 3:

      Qt 5
      Name\ with\ spaces/c++.pch: stable.h ../qt/5.3.0/lib/QtCore.framework/Versions/5/Headers/QVariant \
      		../qt/5.3.0/lib/QtCore.framework/Versions/5/Headers/qvariant.h
      	@test -d Name/\ with/\ spaces/ || mkdir -p Name/\ with/\ spaces/
      	$(CXX) $(CXXFLAGS) $(INCPATH) -x c++-header -c stable.h -o Name\ with\ spaces/c++.pch
      
      Qt 4
      Name\ with\ spaces/c++.pch: stable.h 
      	@$(CHK_DIR_EXISTS) Name\ with\ spaces/ || $(MKDIR) Name\ with\ spaces/ 
      	$(CXX) $(CXXFLAGS) $(INCPATH) -x c++-header -c stable.h -o Name\ with\ spaces/c++.pch
      

      I also added a small program, to demonstrate the problem.
