[Bzr-windows] Don't use single quotes as quotes in command-line parsing on windows?

[Maritza Mendez]

Not missing.  Just making good on my promise to offer *a* solution
with tests.  As I wrote...I am not proposing this for merge but I will
be using it in my own work until the dust settles since I need a
solution now for 2.0.x. That's the beauty of open source.
