AFAICT, GHC on Windows has always done this quoting, the change was to
make GHC on Unix do it too.
I think the reasoning behind it was to fix some bugs related to
filenames with spaces in. We now consistently surround all arguments to
external commands in quotes, which on the face of it seems like a
reasonable thing to do, no? It could be made more bulletproof, by
quoting each character individually I suppose.
