Are we sure ac_space is not first in the environment, or do we need something like: case $as_nl`(ac_space=' '; set) 2>&1` in *${as_nl}ac_space=\ *) This is still not robust to something in the environment such as 'ac_spac="${as_nl}ac_space= "', but the probability of configuring in an environment that polluted is too small to be worried about (since we already have a tough time handling newlines in the environment). -- Eric Blake
