The reason we initially used "@var@" was that on occasion @datadir@
will be substituted as `${prefix}/share'.  This won't correctly
interpolate with single quotes.

I do agree this is a bug.  I think the fix must be to do the @var@
substitution via Makefile.am.  (Perhaps we could use '' with @prefix@
only, but that seems fragile.)

If you agree I will write a patch.
