OK, after being dumb and trying to reason out the problem, I just
debugged it, and I agree with you.  Earlier I said

    When configure runs the substitution step, this rewrites
    Make.defs.in to have a statement

	    CYRUS_NONE=": "

    which binds the variable CYRUS_NONE to the string consisting of
    the characters colon and space, with no quotes.

but this is wrong.  Makefiles treat double-quotes like any other
character, so CYRUS_NONE ends up being bound to the four-character
string that includes the double-quote characters.  If the space wasn't
there, I think this would work, but in any case there's no need for
the extra layer of quoting.

I changed "configure.in" and "configure" to have one layer of quoting
rather than two, and it now works on my machine too.
