What the quote does in bash is submit everything from -define to It as a single
argument to mxmlc without the quotes, whether or not it’s put after the comma
or before the -define. For example:
% foo='hi,josh- how goes it'
% echo [${foo}]
[hi,josh- how goes it]
% foo=hi,'josh- how goes it'
% echo [${foo}]
[hi,josh- how goes it]
% foo='hi,"josh- how goes it"'
% echo [${foo}]
[hi,"josh- how goes it”]
% foo=“hi,'josh- how goes it'"
% echo [${foo}]
[hi,'josh- how goes it']
