$cat bin/testing/expandquote
#!/bin/sh

foo="string with space"
: ${bar:=$foo} 
echo $bar
$ bin/testing/expandquote
string with space
$

ist that what you want?

But that would mean that a default setup is not appropriate.  If you
install texlive and don't change the configuration, there's only one
directory in texmfconfig, but it doesn't exist.

So I guess we should test whether there's more than one, and if yes (and
none does exist) give a nice error message.
