+#   foo bar   --> "foo", "bar"
+#   "foo bar" --> "foo bar"
+#   foo\"bar  --> "foo\"bar"
+#
+# Invoking genargs.pl with -comma will print an initial comma if
+# there's anything to print at all.
+#
+# Sample application in a Makefile:
+#  HSIFIED_EXTRA_LD_OPTS= `echo "$(EXTRA_LD_OPTS)" | $(PERL) genargs.pl`
+#  PACKAGE_CPP_OPTS += -DHSIFIED_EXTRA_LD_OPTS="$(HSIFIED_EXTRA_LD_OPTS)"
