Given the use of preprocessor here, I feel like it would be a bit better if getShortPathName was put into a Compat module of its own?

LGTM.

I initially wondered if we shouldn't be quoting or something to handle spaces but given that the problem is (I assume) not that we incorrectly pass args with spaces to the external prog, but that autoconf being autoconf it mangles things even if we pass it correctly. So yes, fine.

Yes, see #1634. Additional quoting doesn't help here, the path is already passed correctly.
