I'd be very surprised if bash was doing anything different for Windows
than it does for linux. cygwin1.dll does do some quoting of arguments
to non-cygwin programs if it thinks it is required. But, no, we're not
going to implement a complicated scheme to turn that off for random
programs. If you don't like the behavior, right a C program to fix
things up.
