[Rd] installing from source

[Ben Bolker]

   There is a recurring issue with installing from source into paths 
that contain single quotes/apostrophes. "Why would anyone do that??" is 
certainly a legitimate response to such a problem, but I would also say 
this constitutes a legitimate bug.  Would replacing both single-quotes 
below with \\' solve the problem?
    I'm happy to post this (with a patch if my fix seems appropriate) on 
r-bugzilla.

   cheers
