This was meant to be for a 2.1.X system.  For a >= 2.2 system, options
no longer go into -D statements in the Makefile, but into opt_foo.h
files, hence the single quotes must not be there.  (With the -D, they
have been passed on to a shell by `make', hence the single quotes.)

The double quotes are always required, to prevent config from
interpreting the text behind ``options''.
