	Take a look at r31808 which I just committed, it turned out to be a  
bug in the way the Portfile was declaring its environment requirements:

Correct erroneous quoting in environment variables passed to  
MacPorts. These we written with nested quoting
as, e.g, "-L'${prefix}/lib'", but ever since Paul reworked our  
environemt parser back in 1.4.x days and then
Anders fixed a bug in the new parser in r30273 (which happened after  
the 1.5.2 release), the '' subquoting
level is illegal. Now a simple "-L${prefix}/lib", or even -L${prefix}/ 
lib without any quoting at all, suffices.

This commit fixes building and destrooting of bazaar per Adam Mercer  
(ram)'s bug on the dev list. It turned out
to not be a regression with respect to 1.5.s as I anticipated, but  
rather and improper declaration of the environment,
which only worked back in 1.5.2 days as a side effect of the bug  
Anders fixed in r30273, if I'm not mistaken.

	Mark, would it be possible to have this (guidelines for proper  
environment declarations within a Portfile) documented somewhere in  
the guide? Thanks!

	Regards,...
