Maybe packages using automake should refuse to build in

They already do:
cd /tmp/hello-2.12/build\'s
$ ../configure
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... configure: error: unsafe absolute
working directory name
cd /tmp/hello-2.12/build\"d
$ ../configure
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... configure: error: unsafe absolute

Then this entire issue is a red herring because $lockdir will never
contain quote marks, will it?
