Handling `@' sign in paths

[Martin MOKREJŠ]

Hi,
  we use AFS filesysten on our machines and I think automake-1.6.3 does
not handle the situation:

./configure --prefix=/software/@sys/usr
make
make install

properly. For example, I get:

$ aclocal
Can't locate Automake/General.pm in @INC (@INC contains:
/software//usr/share/automake-1.6 /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0/IP22-irix
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/IP22-irix
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at
/software/@sys/usr/bin/aclocal line 37.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /software/@sys/usr/bin/aclocal line
37.
$

It's clear there has to be `\' sign in form of the `@' in path.
One has to manually edit this in automake and aclocal scripts.
Please note that the variable @sys is expanded to proper string by kernel,
not by any shell.

Hope this helps.
