rc.subr cant seem to handle spaces in binary names

Hello,

Finally looking for feedback on this. I have a port 
(multimedia/plexmediaserver) whose binary name is "Plex Media Server" -- 
with spaces. Our rc framework doesn't like this, and every attempt to 
get it to play nice has resulted in failure. I do not like spaces in the 
binary name, but this is something that Plex has had for years and I 
don't expect them to change. Is this a bug in rc.subr, a known WONTFIX, 
or am I overlooking something? I'd love to simplify the rc script if 
possible.


Thanks
