I fought with all this shellquote nonsense long ago and am probably partly responsible for the current tangle. I mostly use Macs and Linux nowadays, so I'm no longer particularly invested in the Windows version of Vim. Python's subprocess package takes an interesting approach. You pass it a list of arguments, which is easy if slightly tedious for the user to get right, and there's no need to worry about quoting individual arguments. At the last minute, it carefully concatenates the list into a correctly quoted string before calling CreateProcess. See the implementation at http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/b8593ec7e8c5/Lib/subprocess.py -- /George V.
