The libtool distributed with cygwin has a bug that prevents use in paths 
containing spaces.
This was encountered when trying to build SDL2 on Windows (see 
http://bugzilla.libsdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1575 for details or repro).

# Which release of libtool.m4 was used?
macro_version=2.2.6
macro_revision=1.3012

The fix is simple: add additional quoting.
