Fixed libtool

One can repro the issue with

/bin/sh ./libtool --debug --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c build/libSDL2.la /usr/local/lib/libSDL2.la

The problem is caused by incorrect quoting in libtool. The variable $progpath is not correctly wrapped in double quotes in several places.

Fixed libtool attached.

I have the same issue when trying to compile SDL2 on a MacOSX v10.9.3.

Andreas, there are a bunch of places in build-scripts/ltmain.sh where $progpath is unquoted. Would the correct fix be to quote all of them?

Yes, it is possible that there are other codepaths besides "make install" that also need this fix. The proposed changes below should cover the most common case though (./configure && make && make install).
