[texhax] includegraphics with spaces in the file path?

[Peter Davis]

Just to re-open an old topic, I'm finding the current version of grffile.sty
works with XeTeX/XeLaTeX to allow me to use \includegraphics with filepaths
containing spaces.

However, I haven't found a canonical place to put grffile.sty so it works
system-wide.  If I put it in the same directory as my .tex files, it's
beautiful, but putting it in, for example "MiKTeX 2.9\tex\latex\grffile\",
doesn't work.

Is there some central place I can put this file so it will work with .tex
files in other directories?  I'm using MikTeX 2.9 on Windows, but I'm going
to want to work with a Mac installation as well.

Thank you!
