Problem
Using Titanium 7.0.2.GA, apps won't compile in android if there is a folder with space and folder (i.e. "hello - world") in the path of the project.
Produce
1. Using a simple app attached (basically, it is a default app named "a - b")
2. Run in android platform
3. You will get following error

Note
1.SDK 7.0.1 works well.
Hmm... interesting. It's not just a space issue, because a project folder named "Path Test" builds fine with 7.0.2.GA. However, a folder name with a space followed by a dash (ie: " -") does cause a build failure. It appears that the gradle ProGuard step is attempting to parse a command line argument from it when it shouldn't. We'll look into it.
