A while ago, I converted the old Vim CVS Repository to git and I made it
available here:

commit d8a836d4df71284a494011056263b98972ae6823
Author: Bram Moolenaar <bram@vim.org>

Patch 5.5.001
Problem: Configure in the top directory did not pass on an argument with a
space correctly. For example "./configure --previs="/My home".
(Stephane Chazelas)
Solution: Use '"$@"' instead of '$*' to pass on the arguments.
