Yes, that's right. And just to be clear, the path should point to the 
file itself, not the containing directory.

Good question. I tried the type of quoting described here 
(http://www.boost.org/doc/html/jam/usage.html), e.g.,

   -sLARGE_FILE_TEMP="\"\"C:/Large File/large_file\"\""

as well as several other possibilities, but none worked.
