[pacman-dev] [PATCH v3 1/1] contrib: Unify quoting in error messages

[Aaron Lindsay]

This fixes error messages to display the contents of variables rather
than the variable name by replacing backticks with single quotes (m4
eats backticks). It also removes $"" localization from error messages to
eliminate security holes.

For instance, `rankmirrors nonexistent_file' will now display:
	'nonexistent_file' does not exist.
rather than:
	$1 does not exist.
