>Description:
	config calls 'makeoptions FOO=""' a syntax error.  setting a make
	option like that is useful, e.g. to set the COPTS kernel makefile
	variable to an empty string to disable optimization.

>How-To-Repeat:
	put 'makeoptions FOO=""' into one of your config file and config it. 
	Note the syntax error message.

>Fix:
	Fix config to accept that syntax.  Workaround: use " " instead of "".
