This is a great article (which I'd not come across before), but this relates
to Microsoft's mechanisms for quoting which aren't applicable here - it's
definitely the Cygwin DLL which does it!

Hi David,
I am puzzled, I had the impression you asked:
"I am trying to work out the precise details for character escaping when
starting a Cygwin process from a native (i.e. non-Cygwin) Windows process."
So the exec should be on "Windows process" side,
why inside the Cygwin DLL ?
Regards
Marco
