The new gentoo config file patch have an error in QUARANTINEDIR declaration.

This result in error in logs when email need to be quarantined:

Part of the amavisd-new-2.4-amavisd.conf-gentoo.patch file with error:

+$QUARANTINEDIR = '$MYHOME/quarantine';

 #$quarantine_subdir_levels = 1;  # add level of subdirs to disperse quarantine
-----------------------------

The declaration
$QUARANTINEDIR = '$MYHOME/quarantine';
must be changed to 
$QUARANTINEDIR = "$MYHOME/quarantine";

A double quoted string must be used to allow $MYHOME evaluation.
No more error after this change.

I'll fix this right after I'll get back from work (can't commit from here), unless someone else beats me to it.

Sorry about this inconvenience.
