Michael,
In changeset 15836 you introduced double-quoted backtick expressions with
escaped double quotes (expressions of the form var="`...\"...\"...`").
According to the portable sh guidelines from Autoconf (section 11.8
http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf.html#Shell-Substitutions)
this isn't portable. I switched the expressions to the form
var=`..."..."...` and it works with my version of Bourne sh. Could you
verify that the attached changeset also works with the MSYS shell? If it
does then I will commit it. Otherwise, we can search for a different solution.
