Yeah, that was easy until they came up with libtool. libtool is very good at
stripping off those extra quotes (") around the string before it invokes the
compiler and... yeah, it screws things up.

I'm not saying you're wrong, I just can't get that to work. :-( I've tried
doing it like this:

AC_HELP_STRING([--without-ca-bundle], [Don't install the CA bundle]),
   [ ca="$withval" ],
   [
  if test "x$prefix" != xNONE; then
    ca="\${prefix}/share/curl/curl-ca-bundle.crt"
  else
    ca="$ac_default_prefix/share/curl/curl-ca-bundle.crt"
  fi
   ] )

if test X"$OPT_SSL" = Xno
then
  ca="no"
fi

if test "x$ca" = "xno"; then
  dnl let's not keep "no" as path name, blank it instead
  ca=""
  AC_MSG_RESULT([none])
else
  CURL_CA_BUNDLE='"'$ca'"'
  CPPFLAGS="$CPPFLAGS -DCURL_CA_BUNDLE=$CURL_CA_BUNDLE"
  AC_SUBST(CURL_CA_BUNDLE)
  AC_MSG_RESULT([$ca])
fi
