[mono-android] Drawables with a space in the filename?

[Tom Opgenorth]

To answer the first question: spaces are not legal characters for an
Android resource.

I can't speak for Xamarin, but I would guess that it is possible to
modify the M4A MSBuild task to remove the spaces before call aapt, but
don't know that is something that should be added to the feature set.
I suppose if enough people asked for it, it would be added....
