I've done this before but I can't remember the invocation.

    $ dd="echo howdy"

    $ ee=$($=dd); echo $ee
    howdy

    $ dd="aptitude search '?name(libreoffice-java-common)'"

    $ ee=$($=dd); echo $ee

    $ (no output)


... I have to be able to run the aptitude command with the single quotes 
intact.  I've tried every little trick that's worked before but I'm just 
not finding the magic.
