Not that simple.  I think this requires a bit of Python code:

        @l = var2list(source)
        @for i in range(0, len(l) - 1):
        @       l[i] = '"' + l[i] + '"' + ','
        @l[len(l) - 1] = '"' + l[len(l) - 1] + '"'
        res = `l`
        :print :sys tlib $target, $=res


Using "$=res" is required to avoid that Aap thinks the double quotes are
to be escaped again with single quotes.

You can see I never thought of using commas here.
