I tried this already, it doesn't work. configure calls gcc with
-DSOMEPATH='"/foo/bar"' (which works only because SOMEPATH is not used in the
test program used by configure, if it would be used in a context where a string
constant is expected I would get an error "character constant too large) but
make calls gcc with -DSOMEPATH=/foo/bar, i.e., the double quotes get lost some
where.
