Quoting of AC_PACKAGE_TARNAME & AC_PACKAGE_VERSION

[Brian Ford]

Please Cc me on replies as I am not currently subscribed to any of the

AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE does not currently quote PACKAGE_TARNAME &
AC_PACKAGE_VERSION correctly.  As such, it can not handle spaces, or
possibly other constructs.

See autoconf/lib/autoconf/general.m4 for a proper example.  A patch
follows:
