My apologies, I only checked that configure ran to completion and didn't 
notice the escapes were leaking through. I should have known better, 
escaping apostrophes is something I've been doing for years in Perl, I 
should have known better than to think it would work the same way in the 
shell.

Definitely ignore the patch!

Thanks for all the work you (and many others of course) do on X!
