[MERGE] alias to respect spaces in quoted arguments

[Marius Kruger]

Hi
thanks for the review, you will make a proper python coder of me yet.

I am happy to make the changes...
One problem with your suggestion though:
*Note: The shlex module currently does not support Unicode input.
(http://docs.python.org/dev/lib/module-shlex.html)
*so I don't know if I should use that, as I see that we get the strings as
unicode.

In regards with the test case, I am also willing...
but I have not looked at it yet, maybe you could point me in the right
direction
as to where to add it and where to look for setting up configuration data
for the tests..


(the original bundle has a bug in it in any case so don't merge it. it still
added an empty item in the list, which causes extra argunents to be ignored
for some reason.)
