I read “shall retain its literal meaning” as “the
backslash should stay a backslash and not be an
escape character”. That means…
directory="`basename \"$ACRO_INSTALL_DIR\"`"
becomes
directory="$(basename \"$ACRO_INSTALL_DIR\")"
and not
directory="$(basename "$ACRO_INSTALL_DIR")"
as in “common/non-POSIX” mode. (The outer quotes are,
of course, redundant for the $(…) comsub style.)
