Should I pull 2.3.14?

[Phil Longstaff]

By "maybe too late", yes, I mean that people might have downloaded 2.3.14.

I was hoping to have 2.3.14 be a fairly stable release.  If this only affects people who specify --with-dbi-dbd-dir then I am not too worried.

With "maybe too late for that" do you mean that 2.3.14 likely has been 
downloaded by a number of people already, and hence it would be confusing to 
put out another 2.3.14 ? If that's what you meant, then a 2.3.15 would indeed 
be a better solution.

I'm not sure though this bug warrants another release. It will only be 
triggered if --with-dbi-dbd-dir is set. Most people wouldn't need to set this.
And if it's set, the workaround is fairly trivial (remove the quotes in the 
environment file).

Also, it's a mostly linux only bug. OS X doesn't currently use the environment 
file and the Windows build system creates this file at install time, 
independently of the bug-affected makefile (when using the windows installer, 
at least, not when running directly from the build environment).
