[Pkg-tcltk-devel] Bug#467397: tcl8.4: CFLAGS variable should be quoted on the commandline, not when set

Hi folks,

The tcl8.4 debian/rules has an error in the handling of the CFLAGS variable:
spaces should not be quoted in make variable assignments because the quotes
become part of the variable content, but do need to be quoted when passing
such variables to the shell via make rules.  The current debian/rules will
cause build failures if CFLAGS is set in the environment, as a result of the
quotes being handled wrong.

Attached is a patch which corrects this issue.

Cheers,
