I'm not sure if we're ever going to solve this cleanly, but it *is* a bug
that we don't cope if the user enters a value containing a single quote,
even if all the "fix" is, is to refuse to accept the value.

perl will build and pass all tests with​:

$ ./perl -Ilib -V​:cf_email
cf_email='nwc10+d'oh@​colon.colondot.net';

but makedepend is not a happy bunny, because the config.sh we generate is not
valid shell. Here are the first 40 lines of errors​:

I had to configure manually - Configure doesn't like single quotes within
command line parameters. Its problem is the eval in

: process the command line options
set X `for arg in "$@​"; do echo "X$arg"; done |
  sed -e s/X// | awk -f options.awk`
eval "set $*"
shift
