Before a process can be spawned by mingw_spawnve, arguments must be surrounded by double-quotes if special characters are present. This is necessary because the startup code of the spawned process will expand arguments that look like glob patterns. "Normal" Windows command line utilities expand only * and ?, but MSYS programs, including bash, are different: They also expand braces, and this has already been taken care of by compat/mingw.c:quote_arg(). But MSYS programs also treat single-quotes in a special way: Arguments between single-quotes are spliced together (with spaces) into a word. With this patch this treatment is avoided by quoting arguments that contain single-quotes. This lets t4252 pass on Windows.
