dnl @synopsis PATCH_LIBTOOL_ON_DARWIN_ZSH_OVERQUOTING dnl dnl libtool 1.4.x has a bug on darwin where the "zsh" is installed as dnl the bourne shell replacement. Of course, the zsh is called in a dnl compatibility mode but there is a common problem with it, probably dnl a bug of zsh. Newer darwin systems have a "bash" installed now, but dnl the configure-default will be "zsh" in most systems still. dnl dnl The bug revelas itself as an overquoted statement in the libtool dnl cmds-spec for sharedlib creation on testing for "module" builds. dnl Later libtool has gone rid of it by simply removing the quotes at dnl that point . Here we maintain the original style and simply remove dnl the extra escape character, i.e. we look for "archive_cmds" and dnl replace a sequence of triple-backslash-and-doublequote with dnl single-backslash-and-doublequote. dnl dnl @category Misc dnl @author Guido U.
