I wonder if I should rework the database stuff so that it will
shell-unquote during the extraction process and not patch the upstream
scripts, so that people can still use them as-is if they want. I think
that would be better overall.

(Some time later)

I've implemented it and it seems much more elegant - just a call to sed
instead of a patch that needs manual attention when things change. When
I have time I'll do a binary comparison of the resulting packages.

It's in the branch unescape-shell-quoting.
