I don't see a need to keep the value on a single line. The output could
just as reasonably be
localstatedir='${prefix}/var'
mandir='${datarootdir}/man'
multiline_var='zero
one
!two
"three'
oldincludedir='/usr/include'
pdfdir='${docdir}'
Sorting the list with the values already present appears to me to be the
problem; that makes an assumption that multi-line values break.
