Eek! That suggests to me that the autoquoting in AC_LIBTOOL_CONFIG is broken 
:-(  I had a suspicion that the variables passed in arg3 of 
AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS should be quote escaped.

Rejecting this part of your patch.  It would be more general to pass each of 
the variables that go through config.status (and are single-quote delimited) 
through something like:

    postinstall_cmds='`echo "X$postinstall_cmds" | $Xsed "s,','\\\\\\''"`'

in arg3 to AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS.

Does that work for you?

Cheers,
        Gary.
