Okay.  Thanks.

I am committing this patch in HEAD only, along with a TODO entry to fix it 
correctly later, since it is better than having nothing in place.  It might 
break cross compilation to darwin though, since $() is not portable.  We need 
to look at the echo detection code in libtool.m4 to find out why it thinks 
zsh echo doesn't remove \ quotes, when it plainly does do so.

Cheers,
        Gary.
