Public bug reported:

it took me a while to figure out that hugin won't work unless the first instance of sh in the path is zsh (or similar).
if it is bash or ksh, it will fall over on lines like

@echo Operating System: Windows XP (5.1 Service Pack 3)

because the ( character is not enclosed within quotes.

if the string after @echo is enclosed in double quotes - " - I believe
it will work with every shell, not just zsh - seems like this would be
an easy change to implement and save some grief (alternately, make hugin
put its own directory first in the PATH when running make, so that zsh
is the first copy of sh in the PATH)
