Odd.  I took func_quote_for_eval right out of libtool... can you figure out what particular substitution Solaris /bin/sh chokes on?  I guess I broke something when I unrolled the option parsing loop (again, taken directly from libtool) to allow plugging additional parse functions in to the bootstrap execution via bootstrap.conf.
