#11602: install_scripts should use "$@" instead of $*
----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------

----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
When using a script created by Sage's install_scripts() function,
parameters with spaces cause problems. Example:
{{{
From sage:
sage: os.mkdir("temp")
sage: install_scripts("temp")
sage: quit
From shell:
$ cd temp
$ mkdir hgtest
$ cd hgtest
$ ../hg init
$ ../hg commit -m"Two words"
abort: words: No such file or directory
$ ../hg commit -m"Oneword"
nothing changed
}}}
Apparently this was discussed on the mailing list back in 2008:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/sage-devel/oeFrvqWiP_s/o8mKO-4OAKkJ
It seems that the solution is to make install_scripts write "$@" instead
of $* .
