build: fix test for --nocompress option
The test for febootstrap-to-initramfs' --nocompress option
was always failing for me on F11. Here's why:
$ bash ~/w/co/libguestfs:210-comment-fix
$ t=`febootstrap-to-initramfs 2>&1`
[Exit 1]
$ if ! echo $t|grep -sq -- --nocompress; then echo not found; fi
not found
Notice: without quotes, the [--nocompress] term expands to "k",
because I happen to have a temporary file named "k":
$ echo $t
Usage: febootstrap-to-initramfs [--files=filelist] k DIR Please read
febootstrap-to-initramfs(8) man page for more information.
$ echo "$t"
Usage: febootstrap-to-initramfs [--files=filelist] [--nocompress] DIR
Please read febootstrap-to-initramfs(8) man page for more information.
a simpler example gives a clue:
$ touch a b c
$ echo [--z]
a b c
$ echo [--a]
a
$ echo [--b]
a b
it's interpreting [--nocompress] as a range: "-" through "n", plus
the other characters, ocmpres. "k" falls in the --n range.
Anyhow, here's the fix:

Subject: [PATCH] build: fix test for --nocompress option
* configure.ac: Fix underquoting bug that would cause the test
for febootstrap-to-initramfs' --nocompress option always to fail
with certain-letter-named files in the top directory.
