Re: [Rd] installing from source
Kevin Ushey pointed out to me privately that he submitted a bug
report and a patch for this about a month ago, which Kurt Hornik put in
R-devel (c79477):

Here, I'm mostly among the "Why would anyone do that??" people,
but I agree that it's worth some effort to try fixing this.
To your question above: Why don't you create a repr.ex. (we'd
want anyway for R-bugzilla) and *see* if your proposition solves
it - or did I misinterpret the Q?

[Rd] installing from source
There is a recurring issue with installing from source into paths
that contain single quotes/apostrophes. "Why would anyone do that??" is
certainly a legitimate response to such a problem, but I would also say
this constitutes a legitimate bug. Would replacing both single-quotes
below with \\' solve the problem?
I'm happy to post this (with a patch if my fix seems appropriate) on
r-bugzilla.
cheers
