pkgmk and pkgproto

Hi
I've just compiled ssl and need to create my own pkg for installation.

I've created the prototype file with pkgproto command.
The problem is; there is a symbolic link with a white space in it's
name;

<entry created by pkgproto>
s none openssl/man/man7/Modes of DES.7=des_modes.7

This causes the following error when I run pkgmk:

# pkgmk -r `pwd`
## Building pkgmap from package prototype file.
ERROR in prototype:
    garbled entry
    - pathname: "openssl/man/man7/Modes
    - problem: missing or invalid link specification
pkgmk: ERROR: unable to build pkgmap from prototype file
## Packaging was not successful.

Simply quoting the entry makes no difference.
What's the best way to overcome this???
I guess I could make a finish script to create the link after the
installation, but would prefer if possible to get the link created in
the pkgmk.

Thanks
Dan.
