I was going to write exactly the same with few additional points:

1) configure should not see the quotes - they should be interpreted by the
shell that runs configure.

2) configure doesn't support spaces in directories. There are few
exceptions, e.g. spaces are allowed in the directories listed in PATH.
However, I'll oppose to fixes that change too much - it's easy to break
something else even just by adding extra quotes.
