At almost 4000 lines long, plus countless system-specific hacks,
the OpenSSH configure.ac is a horrible abuse of Autoconf that I
shudder even to look at. Thus, I'm not surprised to report that
this is an upstream quoting bug. Here's a fix:
diff -up /home/blp/tmp/openssh-4.3p2/configure.ac\~

I'm reassigning this bug to OpenSSH.
