I partially fixed this by modifying PtolemyEffigy so that we escape for xml
the username.  Models can now be saved with names like "This & That.xml".

However, the name in the title bar will look like
"file:/tmp/This%20&%20That.xml"
The reason is that Ptolemy uses URLs or URIs to represent model names.
Trying to change the title bar so that it shows "file:/tmp/This & That.xml"
initially seems desirable, but spaces are not legitimate characters in URLs
or URIs.  If I hacked in something that changed %20 to space, then that
would look better, but it would technically be a lie, since the URL or
URI has %20s in it, not spaces.

Interestingly, if I open /tmp/This & That.xml and then do Save As, then
the file browser shows the initial file name as "This & That.xml", which
correct.  It would have been wrong to show "This%20&%20That.xml".
