There are a couple of options. I could make the the next rev of the 
windows installer set fatfilename on by default so that Windows users 
don't get themselves in trouble with whitespace.  I hate to install 
useless settings by default, though.  I could also change get_iplayer to 
always apply fatfilename if whitespace is set, for Windows only.  I 
think I prefer the latter.  I wouldn't want fatfilename as the default 
with whitespace on other platforms since it isn't necessary.
