Description

libtool 1.4.x has a bug on darwin where the "zsh" is installed as the bourne shell replacement. Of course, the zsh is called in a compatibility mode but there is a common problem with it, probably a bug of zsh. Newer darwin systems have a "bash" installed now, but the configure-default will be "zsh" in most systems still.

The bug revelas itself as an overquoted statement in the libtool cmds-spec for sharedlib creation on testing for "module" builds. Later libtool has gone rid of it by simply removing the quotes at that point . Here we maintain the original style and simply remove the extra escape character, i.e. we look for "archive_cmds" and replace a sequence of triple-backslash-and-doublequote with single-backslash-and-doublequote.
