It may be not useful as much, but with an old version we end up
calling a command:
[...] cc -c [...] -DHAS_MKSTEMP  
'-DSYSTEM_INIT_FILE="'/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/twm'/system.twmrc"' parse.c
which is not consistent, does not look very nice and requires more
processing by the shell.

I have no more arguments, sorry. Please forget the issue if you don't
agree with my reasoning.

Many thanks for the reply anyway!
