Don't ask.  That was what "just for the record" was about.  In
practice, one uses the most simplistic expressions (and then some) and
prays, and your patches are quite in line with that.

Basically, one has to bear up under attack from two sides: the Windows
side with its idiosyncratic file names (and habitual spaces) under the
Cygwin and MSYS environments (which are quite Posix and GNU), and the
non-Posix madness from all sorts of Unices all across the utilities.
