Fails if special characters in cwd

[natevw]

If I try to build-couchdb from a directory with an apostrophe in its name, it fails:

$ rake
Build CouchDB commit: 0e22abd94d08a22d483f38448b94d19f0132ae65

cat config.log

Tasks: TOP => default => couchdb:build => couchdb:couchdb => erlang:build => /Users/natevw/Development/Others'/build-couchdb/build/bin/erl => /Users/natevw/Development/Others'/build-couchdb/build/bin/autoconf2.59
(See full trace by running task with --trace)

Workaround: build from a different directory.
