like this if she really wanted to:

	make bindir="Anna'\\''s Home/bin"

I wish we had $(shellquote $(DESTDIR)$(bindir)) in make ;-).

Hmm... let's think about this for a second...

shellquote = '$(subst ','\'',$(1))'

$(call shellquote,$(whatever))

... seems to work just fine.

(No need to worry about ! since Make commands are always /bin/sh.)
