That's exactly what I was going to suggest. I already tried it on Linux by
changing mod_mira.C line 262, but that's the same effect as your change, and
it worked fine. I have not succeeded yet in building MIRA on a Mac - I'm doing
something wrong with those complicated build steps - but this is just an issue
of bash which is the same on Mac and Linux, so I am confident it would work.
This will break if the user does something really pathological like install
the MIRA executable in a directory path that contains " or $ or maybe some
other special characters, but I would not consider that a reasonable use case.
Thank you so much,
Sidney
