Ah, I should have spotted: there is no quote character defined for these 
strings, so this is invalid. Probably you should use embedded single 
quotes instead here.

This could do with fixing, but I suspect that it's not totally 
straightforward (I think the lexer in setup would need to be taught how 
to handle them, and then we'd need to ensure these escapes pass through 
cygport and calm)
