1.3.3-1 (test release)
* src/run.c: New option "--quote", which auto-quotes arguments
containing whitespace or backslash characters.
Any chance this can be promoted to current? It seems that --quote is
necessary for commands of the form 'run /usr/bin/bash -l -c "command
args"' to work, which are used quite a lot in X start menu items (e.g.
see [1]).
I guess these start menu items used to work at some point in the past,
so I assume there been some change in Cygwin command line processing
which means this is now needed, but I can't track anything down...
