The autoconf manual at the top of the "Shell Substitutions" node says
forms like
x="`foo "xyz" bar`"
are not portable. Is that what the eval above will end up doing?
Yes, but... it works dammit :-)
Can anyone actually find a real live shell where this patch does not
work?
In the meantime, I can put the zsh echo test in around this line, and
make the extra \"'s dependent on the (broken?) zsh behavior.
Thanks,
