| I had a bit of fun recently tracking down quoting issues with the
| "system" command in Windows. For the examples below, I'll consistently
| use "Windows> " as the beginning of some text sent to the Windows
| command prompt cmd.exe, and use "GHC> " as the beginning of some text
| sent to a ghci session running in cmd.exe with System.Cmd imported.

I remember struggling with this, and failing.  We'd be thrilled if someone on this list felt up to taking up the cudgels and sorting it out.

I've created a ticket for it though!
