I seem to have great difficult getting double quote " into arguments
to programs run by make. If I want to do something like

	foo "abc"

in order to make some target, I seem to need to do

	foo \"abc\\\"

This seems to be a bug. If I try to combine the use of quotes with
file redirection or pipes seem to get dumped into an interactive
shell, and when I exit that the command required isn't performed.
