Apostrophe in path

Apologies if this is a known bug.

Autoconf 2.65:  If the path to the current directory has a component with
an apostrophe in it, an erroneous line is written to config.status.

Example:  ac_pwd='/home/user/dir/XXXXX's YYYY'

You can see there is a naked apostrophe that prematurely terminates the string.

Verified on Ubuntu 10.x and Cywgin.

Cheers, Brendan.
