MAKEINFO perhaps (and I see that you already changed that back),
but PKG_CONFIG was already documented as being a file name, not
a command with arguments, so it seems more appropriate to quote it.
If we want to make it possible to pass options to PKG_CONFIG,
we could add another 'configure' option to do that.

Is it documented anywhere that Emacs cannot be built if
the working directory has spaces or other special characters
in its fully qualified file name?  If not, perhaps it should be.
