We want to parse $additional_configure_args into an array the way the
shell would, which we're using eval for. But because we were missing
quotes whitespace was being stripped. Basically:
$ function lines() { for x in "$@"; do echo "$x"; done; }
$ lines a "b c" d
a
b c
d
$ a='a "b c" d'
$ eval e=($a)
$ eval f=("$a")
$ lines "${e[@]}"
a
b c
d
$ lines "${f[@]}"
a
b c
d
We were doing this like e when we should have been doing it like f.
