Log message:
ksh does not properly separate the arguments in "$@" if IFS is an
empty string.

Having guenther@ look at POSIX, it seems it is indeed the compliant 
(albeit IMO questionable) behaviour.

Since some places in the installer like to fiddle with IFS before
calling the various ask functions, be sure to use the positional
parameters one by one in those.

I believe the fix should really be applied to ksh, but this should
do for now.
