Comment(by simonmar):
The comment worries me a bit, because it implies that when I tried this
before it didn't work. Perhaps, as Brandon says, that is because the
behaviour changed in Windows at some point (though I find it slightly hard
to believe that this was on a Windows version earlier than XP).
Note that the behaviour should be much more reliable if you don't go via
`cmd`, and run the command directly. I believe we do get the quoting
right in that case.
If you want to take this forward, I suggest writing a few tests as well as
the patch itself.
