This is true, but there's a standard quoting convention which (in
particular) Microsoft's C library uses to split the single argument back
into an argv. The spawn* functions quote; the C library startup stuff
unquotes and splits.
The actual quoting convention is /horrible/. I had to implement the
darned thing once. See
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/1999-08/msg00701.html
for the details.
