## Unescaped variables in pkgconfig files Spaces in variable values are escaped with `\`, this is required in the case the value is a path that and is used in `cflags` or `libs` arguments. This was an undocumented behaviour that caused issues in the case the variable is a space separated list of items. For backward compatibility reasons this behaviour could not be changed, new keyword arguments have thus been added: `unescaped_variables` and `unescaped_uninstalled_variables`. ```meson pkg = import('pkgconfig') ... pkg.generate(lib, variables: { 'mypath': '/path/with spaces/are/escaped', }, unescaped_variables: { 'mylist': 'Hello World Is Not Escaped', }, ) ```
