Description Justace Clutter 2005-06-23 09:59:15 UTC

I have found that the ac_unique_file stuff in the configure scripts do not
handle spaces since they are not quoted.  So, I quoted them.  I am including a
patch to the 2.59 distro and I have submitted a patch to the autoconf project
made from the current CVS sources.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Create a project with the auto-tools under a directory with a space in it
2.  Generate the configure script
3.  Run the configure script

Actual Results:  
I lost the output, so I can not put it here.  Sorry
