mac/make-package fails to accept "-C, --enable-locallisppath=/Library/Application\ Support/Emacs/calendar22:/Library/Application\ Support/Emacs/preview:/Library/Application\ Support/Emacs/auctex/images:/Library/Application\ Support/Emacs/auctex:/Library/Application\ Support/Emacs" or such

Hello!

When I try make Carbon Emacs become aware of some fine or localized  
software and I try to use --enable-locallisppath to pass the values to  
the configure script, configure when invoked from make-package fails  
like this:

        ++ expr x--enable-locallisppath=/Library/Application : 'x[^=]*=\(.*\)'
        + ac_optarg=/Library/Application
	++ expr x--enable-locallisppath=/Library/Application :  
'x-*enable-\([^=]*\)'
        + ac_feature=locallisppath
	+ expr xlocallisppath :  
'.*[^-_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789]'
        ++ echo locallisppath
        ++ sed s/-/_/g
        + ac_feature=locallisppath
        ++ echo /Library/Application
        ++ sed 's/'\''/'\''\\'\'''\''/g'
        + ac_optarg=/Library/Application
        + eval 'enable_locallisppath='\''/Library/Application'\'''
        ++ enable_locallisppath=/Library/Application
        + test -n ''
	++ expr xSupport/Emacs/calendar22:/Library/Application :  
'x[^=]*=\(.*\)'
        + ac_optarg=
        + echo 'configure: WARNING: you should use --build, --host, --target'
        configure: WARNING: you should use --build, --host, --target
	+ expr xSupport/Emacs/calendar22:/Library/Application :  
'.*[^-

	+ echo 'configure: WARNING: invalid host type:

	configure: WARNING: invalid host type:

	+ : Support/Emacs/calendar22:/Library/Application

Support/Emacs/calendar22:/Library/Application
        + test -n ''
        ++ expr xSupport/Emacs/preview:/Library/Application : 'x[^=]*=\(.*\)'
        + ac_optarg=
        + echo 'configure: WARNING: you should use --build, --host, --target'

I think there is a bug in "GNU bash, version 2.05b.0(1)-release  
(powerpc-apple-darwin7.0)" that does not allow to pass a string with  
white space in it to another script. A workaround would be in  
mac/make-package this:

        # Run configure in the new tempparent directory
        if test "$with_config" = "yes"; then
            (cd ${builddir}; ${srcdir}/configure <<EOF
         ${config_options} --prefix=${prefix}
        EOF
            )
        fi
