I think this is fairly graphic proof that (1) a straight port without
doing anything special is essentially nonfunctional on Windows, and that
(2) there isn't any easy way for the user to fix it by inserting quotes
for himself.

So it seems like we *must* double quote on Windows. If you want some
switches in there, tough --- the only way will be to make a batch file
you can invoke that adds the switches.

Anyone see a different answer?
