If you have a command such as

	echo Hello, world foo  bar

in your /boot/boot.conf file, this appears as

	Hello,worldfoobar

rather than

	Hello, world foo bar

as you (or maybe just me) might expect.  I think this is because
unargv() concatenates all the arguments in the argv arrary without
adding whitespace.

In the mean time, I guess I'll just enclose the works in quotes to have
it appear as one paramter.  Certainly this is nothing to loose sleep over.
