it doesn't because I wasn't sure how to do that reliably: the stuff automake
does for e.g. autoconf assumes that the contents of the potentially escaped
variable contain a single file path and nothing more. This is unfortunately
untrue for ac_install_sh, which already contains a command with option, spaces
and everything.
The way automake handles this works, because in Makefiles another round of
substition happens. I didn't want to count on that.
