parrot/parrot — Issue #233: configuration-file interface does not accept arguments with whitespace

Configuration files passed to `perl Configure.pl --file=...` fail to accept arguments with whitespace in the `general` section -- in particular, the following code will fail:

=general

intval=long long

It's probable that `lib/Parrot/Configure/Options/Conf/File.pm` is to blame, feel free to track this down further.

For now, I'm using

=variables

LONGLONG=long long

=general

intval=$LONGLONG

as a workaround.
