Looking at the linked Huskell issue, I think the problem is not with the
--preprocessor= option, it is with --preprocessor-arg= option, where 'quot' IS
used.

The problem is that windres.c quotes the argument if it has whitespace, but
then 'read_rc_file' quotes it again.  This double quoting is what causes the
problem.  The problem was exposed by the fix in 'quot': previously it basically
didn't quote the argument, so the extra quoting in 'read_rc_file' didn't do any
harm.

So I think removing the fnquotes thingy from 'read_rc_file' should fix the
problem.  Please test.
