Starting msfconsole in a directory that contain spaces gives an error

[DidierA]

if you run 'msfconsole' and the current directory contains spaces in its name, an error is reported:

lv426:~ % cd dir\ with\ space 
lv426:~/dir with space % /usr/bin/msfconsole 
/usr/bin/msfconsole: 14: cd: can't cd to /home/didier/dir

line 14 of /usr/bin/msfconsole contains cd $CWD, it should be cd "$CWD"

Thanks for the error report; this should be fixed by #186 - and available by default in a day or so from now when the next automated build is released 👍
