There's this block in Test/Run.pm, but I don't see the analogous
block anywhere else (e.g., Build or Install).
{{{
while ($exec =~ m/@(.+?)@/) {
my $val = $ini->val($mpi_details_section, $1);
if (!$val) {
Warning("Used undefined key @$1@ in exec value; skipping");
return;
}
$exec =~ s/@(.+?)@/$val/;
}
}}}

No, the always erroneous command-wrapping quotes get chopped
just before they're passed to exec() in DoCommand. It would
not chop the trailing quote, because there's no leading
quote.
