[Cook] Escaping shell characters

[John Darrington]

How can I pass quoted expressions in a rule? Cook insists on pinching
the ' characters so that the expression gets passed to the shell
unquoted, and therefore completely screws up.  Such as:

%0%.aux.d: %0%.aux
{
  sed  -n -e 's/\\xyzzy{\(.*\)}/gp'  %0%.aux > [target] ;
}

This problem, so far as I can tell means that only very trivial sed
examples can be used in cook.
