 lib/gis/spawn.c. "correct" in quotes because it's up to the C runtime as
 to how to parse the command line into individual arguments; the
 escape_arg() function matches the MSVC behaviour, and is the same
 algorithm as used by e.g. Python's subprocess module (see list2cmdline()
 in subprocess.py).

 Couldn't we use simply G_spawn() or G_spawn_ex()?
