Also please single-quote the commands.

   Ok, why?

   BTW should I do that for all four of the patterns?  And what about $dirname
and $basename, and the couple of dozen other locations in ltmain.sh that use
quoted sed scripts?  (You didn't answer my question about "why" yet so I can't
infer anything.)

I don't like very much backslash sequences in double-quoted variables. It's portable, but somewhat unintuitive. But this is upstream code after all, so it's better to leave it alone. Sorry for the false alarm.
