patchfile which fixes ssh-copy-id problem with identity files containing whitespaces

Under Cygwin, my home directory is "/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/me". When I type:

ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub somehost

I get:

cat: /cygdrive/c/Documents: Is a directory
cat: and: No such file or directory
cat: Settings/me/.ssh/id_dsa.pub: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: ERROR: No identities found

Attached is a patch which fixes this issue.
