Comment:

 You can use options containing spaces in a .cabal file. You just have to
 quote the entire option:

 {{{
 ghc-options: "--with-rtsopts=-N -qg"
 }}}

 The whole thing will be passed as a single option. The " will not be
 passed.

 This escaping (using Haskell String syntax) is documented in the user
 guide.
