I see that there are problems in the git porcelain commands that needs
to also be fixed so please ignore this for now.

Instead, is this something that should be supported? (It is quite
absurd, although it is required for 'make install' to work out of the
box on some systems).

this is the right way to quote things.  I suspect it might be
the responsibility of the user to quote them if she chooses to
set bindir or DESTDIR to a funky value, like this:

    $ make bindir="'My Documents\Programs'"

Because depending on how funky the values of bindir and DESTDIR
are, we cannot say double-quote you are giving them is even the
right quoting (think double-quote itself as part of the name).

The other "$X" change to cmd-renames is a good change (I thought
I heard HPA talking about that; maybe he sent one to me and I
dropped it on the floor by mistake, I dunno).  Thanks.

Yeah, ok, it could end up very wrong. I hope that this patch is
acceptable. I've tested it lightly, and the core commands seems to work,
there might be other git scripts that needs to be changed.

I also sent a 'disguised' patch in <20051005131631.GA9442@diku.dk> ...

I don't think that's the right approach.

	$(INSTALL) -d -m755 '$(DESTDIR)$(bindir)'

... at least handles everything except embedded single quotes.  Note 
that the single quote is not a special character for make.

If I dropped it on the floor, it was mentally :-/

OK.  It is better than dq, and the user can still work it around
like this if she really wanted to:

	make bindir="Anna'\\''s Home/bin"

I wish we had $(shellquote $(DESTDIR)$(bindir)) in make ;-).

Hmm... let's think about this for a second...

shellquote = '$(subst ','\'',$(1))'

$(call shellquote,$(whatever))

... seems to work just fine.

(No need to worry about ! since Make commands are always /bin/sh.)
