Re: mac/make-package fails to accept "-C, --enable-locallisppath=/Library/Application\ Support/Emacs/calendar22:/Library/Application\ Support/Emacs/preview:/Library/Application\ Support/Emacs/auctex/images:/Library/Application\ Support/Emacs/auctex:/Library/Application\ Support/Emacs" or such

Hello!

My previous message on this subject was a bit incorrect. Although in 
mac/make-package the statements

        # Run configure in the new tempparent directory
        if test "$with_config" = "yes"; then
            (cd ${builddir}; ${srcdir}/configure <<EOF
         ${config_options} --prefix=${prefix}
        EOF
            )
        fi

"fix" configure's failure with the spaces in the directory names, they 
do so by not passing anything to configure! So it's indeed configure 
which erroneously assumes that every argument ends in white space or a 
new line. The more correct description would be: it's either a new 
line, or white space in front of a new line, or white space followed by 
'-' or '--' which introduce the next option's name. At least for the 
enable block at lines #405-416 in configure this feature would be 
useful.
