[Openmcl-devel] handling special chars in CCL_DEF_DIR

[Hamilton Link]

In the scripts/openmcl script, you may find that openmcl won't be run 
if you have a CCL_DEFAULT_DIRECTORY pathname that has special chars in 
a directory name (for example "/foo/hamilton's path/bar/ccl").

The fix appears to be to wrap the value of CCL_DEFAULT_DIRECTORY in 
quotes (or backslash the spaces, etc.) so that you can bind the 
environment variable, and replace the original call in scripts/openmcl:

CCL_DEFAULT_DIRECTORY=${DD} exec ${DD}/${OPENMCL_KERNEL} "$@"

with the following:

eval CCL_DEFAULT_DIRECTORY='"'${DD}'"' exec 
'"'${DD}/${OPENMCL_KERNEL}'"' "$@"

Caveat emptor. If anyone else can confirm that this works or come up 
with something even better before this gets worked into the repo, 
that'd probably be best.
