Yeah, but we need Win32::ShellQuote on Windows and String::ShellQuote otherwise
(BTW: why can't someone enhance String::ShellQuote so that it works on Windows,
too?).
But cpanm et al. take the configure_requires from the downloaded META.yml which
can't express alternatives.
And I can't require them both, as Win32::ShellQuote obviously
can't be built on non-Windows systems.
Heck, all I wanted was a method to generate Makefile
commands that quote their (a-priori unknown) arguments reliably on any OS.
I'll ditch both ShellQuote modules and simply enclose
arguments in double quotes - that ought to work in 99.9 percent of environments.
