It doesn't hurt here because it's in the shell portion of the script and
isn't modified by m4.

The times we don't want ""'s are when you pass them to a m4 macro and
you want the $1 to white space separate the value, say with a

AC_DEFUN(AAA,[
for f in $1; do
  echo $f
done
])

Here calling AAA("a b") set f to "a b" and not to "a" and then "b".

Best,
Blair
