No, @foo@ is evaluated when shell_command is evaluated. So it would
have it's " chopped before it was folded into shell_command,
resulting in a the following:
./configure CFLAGS=-g -O
which would be wrong.
I admit to not having looked closely at your patch; would it handle
this scenario properly?

Point taken about being literal. My thinking is that most

How about a doc fix then?
I'm not so worried about a '"cmd"' to exec(), but more about other
fields. Remember that shell commands are a very small portion of
the fields used in MTT - there's others that are explicitly used as
portions of commands. For example you could do something like this:
shell_command = ./configure @foo@
foo = "CFLAGS=-g -O"
which then wouldn't work.
