True. The quoting also avoids globbing, though, so I've become used to using it consistently, also because many other packages do cope with spaces in the absolute directory name, as long as $srcdir is relative and doesn't contain any spaces. But hey, if it's desired, I'll gladly change the patch as above. Thanks, Ralf
