Hello,

I've just had a report from a user of PCRE who was building it under
mingw 32bit ver 4.6.1; the machine was vista x64 sp2 with E6500K CPU.
In the ./configure file there is the line

  if test $ac_delim_n = $ac_delim_num; then
  
He had to change it to

  if test "$ac_delim_n" = "$ac_delim_num"; then

(i.e. adding quotes) to make it work in his environment. From looking at 
other packages, it seems that this is part of the "stock" code that 
autoconf always generates. It works fine in a Linux environment, which 
is what I use. The change looks innocuous to me, so if you could add the 
quotes in some future release, it would make life smoother for some
folks.

Regards,
Philip
