But of course it will have to be commented carefully to stop some future patcher removing the "useless" quotes. And there could be some fun issues with filenames which contain '"'. And the "right" fix to all this is to ensure that these things are processed by the multi-arg form of system(), so we don't need to think about shell quoting at all.
