Re: executable wrapper on mingw mangles arguments

Hello Ralf,

No. libtool-2.2.6 on mingw:
  $ ./configure
  $ make
  $ make check-local TESTSUITEFLAGS='-v -d -x -k "execute mode"'
  ...
  1 test was successful.

Yes, I agree. That's why I gave a reference to a complete test case in the
report. - You are familiar with the syntax of *.at files. I am not.

In the report I only gave a simple test case with arguments with spaces:

   abc 'def ghi' jkl

Feel free to add more examples with double-quotes, backslashes etc:

   abc 'd"e' 'f"g' hij
   abc 'd\"e' 'f\"g' hij
   abc 'd\\"e' 'f\\"g' hij
   abc 'd\\\"e' 'f\\\"g' hij
   abc 'd\' efg
   abc 'd\\' efg
   abc 'd\\\' efg
   abc 'd\\\\' efg
   abc '<' '>' def
   abc '<def>' ghi

The prepare_spawn function has been tested to cover all these cases.
