I see there has been some discussion about the quoting of commands to run 
on windows - 
https://github.com/JuliaLang/IJulia.jl/pull/211#issuecomment-51562782)
In particular there was discussion about exposing a flag to disable 
automatically quoting arguments:

Has this been done? Or are there plans for it to be done?
Are there any workarounds that still allow me to use the standard Julia run 
command?

Note the above workaround of calling via windows cmd does not work since 
arguments are quoted with single quotes.
