OVERVIEW DESCRIPTION :
Using gnome-2.2 stack from 11 of March, gnome-speech from today's CVS 
HEAD, java 2 sdk 1.4.1_01,I found out that gnome-speech is stopping at
autogen.sh time.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE :
- get gnome-speech from CVS HEAD
- launch autogen.sh script (no matter what parameters you give for it) 

ACTUAL RESULTS:
You will notice that the building is stopping outputing the following message:

checking for eciNew in -libmeci50... yes
checking for TextToSpeechSync in -ltts... no
./configure: line 8165: syntax error near unexpected token `"(c'
./configure: line 8165: `  echo $ECHO_N "(cached) $ECHO_C" >&6'

EXPECTED RESULTS:
Building to be finished.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
The problem occured after yesterday's commit (2003-03-27 "Fixed Eloquence
autoconf stuff") and was caused by:
 
<snip from configure.in>
eloquence_LIBDIR="$with_eloquence_dir/redist/common_module"                  
"                                                                         
     
</snip from configure.in>

The solution is easy : you just have to remove the unwanted quotation marks.
