Dear Maintainer,

It seems that quoting or escaping in option argument for template is unusable 
with lxc-create.
For example, I'm trying to set preseed file with space in path for debian:

sudo lxc-create -n debian-wheezy-amd64 -t debian -- --preseed-file="/tmp/Work 
files/lxc.cfg"

The file is present on the filesystem, but template script just ignores it. 
Same result with this command:

sudo lxc-create -n debian-wheezy-amd64 -t debian -- --preseed-file=/tmp/Work\ 
files/lxc.cfg


Then I moved the file to /tmp/Work/lxc.cfg, script works as expected:

sudo lxc-create -n debian-wheezy-amd64 -t debian -- 
--preseed-file=/tmp/Work/lxc.cfg

'lxc-create' invokes template in line 327:

    $template_path --path=$lxc_path/$lxc_name --name=$lxc_name $?

This change fixes script behaviour:

    $template_path --path=$lxc_path/$lxc_name --name=$lxc_name "$@"

Need to mention, quoting "$?" also works fine for my particular example,
but I discovered that with other template options it some times confuses 
'getopt' utility
used in most templates to parse options.
