Yeah, that's probably the right thing to do. Although, I'm still not
sure Matt's path with embedded quotes won't get screwed up. Actually,
since AC_DEFINE_DIR uses eval a couple times, I'm sure the quotes
would get taken out. Thinking about this some more, I'm sure the issue
can be worked around by adding an eval when getting the variable from
pkg-config.
$ cat > test.pc << "EOF"
foo="bar"
Name: test
Description: test
Version: 1.2.3
EOF
$ FOO=`pkg-config --variable=foo ./test.pc`
$ echo x${FOO}x
x"bar"x
$ eval FOO=`pkg-config --variable=foo ./test.pc`
$ echo x${FOO}x
xbarx
Whatever.
