990 This function is mainly used under Windows (as under Unix we always get the
991 command line arguments as agrc/argv anyhow) and so it tries to handle the
992 Windows path names (separated by backslashes) correctly. For this it only
993 considers that a backslash may be used to escape another backslash (but
994 normally this is _not_ needed) or a quote but nothing else.
996 In particular, to pass a single argument containing a space to the program
999 myprog.exe foo bar -> argc = 3, argv[1] = "foo", argv[2] = "bar"
1000 myprog.exe "foo bar" -> argc = 2, argv[1] = "foo bar"
1002 To pass an argument containing spaces and quotes, the latter should be
1003 escaped with a backslash:
1005 myprog.exe "foo \"bar\"" -> argc = 2, argv[1] = "foo "bar""
1007 This hopefully matches the conventions used by Explorer/command line
1008 interpreter under Windows. If not, this function should be fixed.
