adl> * aclocal.in, automake.in: Requote each "@var@" as '@var@'.
The reason we initially used "@var@" was that on occasion @datadir@
will be substituted as `${prefix}/share'. This won't correctly
interpolate with single quotes.
I do agree this is a bug. I think the fix must be to do the @var@
substitution via Makefile.am. (Perhaps we could use '' with @prefix@
only, but that seems fragile.)
If you agree I will write a patch.
