Comment (by mikeperry):

 Bad news, it seems that mcs and brade were right to be wary of this
 change. If we use spaces in --with-app-name, the build completely breaks.
 And changing --with-app-name to anything changes the firefox.exe to that
 name, which means we have to update all of our launchers and shortcuts on
 all platforms if we do this change.

 --with-app-basename seems fine with spaces, and doesn't seem to affect the
 build. I'm not sure if it is enough to fix remoting by itself, though.
