Installing fails when there is a space in the path

[nicolaasmatthijs]

When doing npm install -d on a path that contains a space, the following error is thrown:

Ugh. Unfortunate side-effect of adding dtrace-provider as a dep. Thanks for the bug report. I'll see if I can get a patch to dtrace-provider, else I'll just log a bug there. :)

[trentm]

Same issue as kelektiv/node.bcrypt.js#121
This is an issue with gyp.

[trentm]

Here is the real issue referred to in that bug: nodejs/node-gyp#65

And the related node-dtrace-provider bug: chrisa/node-dtrace-provider#25

Closing the bunyan issue -- thought bunyan could mitigate by making dtrace-provider an optional dep, I'd rather not.

[trentm]

Added nodejs/node-gyp#164 that should fix this. That'll require a new core node release with the new node-gyp tho.

[nicolaasmatthijs]

Thanks Trent! In the meantime, I'll just add a note to our README. Making the dtrace-provider an optional dependency is probably not necessary.
