Single quote character in path name breaks compilation #10

Description

Tim Streater reported on the sqlite-users mailing list:

Warn folks not to have a single-quote (') in their path, it causes
the make of sqlitebrowser to fail. I moved the folder elsewhere and
redid the qmake, make, steps and it completed.

In testing here:

$ mkdir foo\'
$ cd foo\'
$ pwd
/Users/jc/tmp/foo'
$ git clone https://github.com/sqlitebrowser/sqlitebrowser.git
