#961: option quoting in csc is a complete mess

Comment (by felix):
I don't know what to do here. To avoid quoting hell, one should probably
use `execve` and friends in this case, but the appropriate device for
Windows does not exist. The quoting rules with `cmd.exe` are even more
insane than under UNIX and make up a large part of the messy code that is
used in `csc` to somehow pass the correct arguments to subprocesses.
A rewrite is certainly desirable, but not required for C5. We should
identify specific functionality that is either broken or *must* be changed
in an incompatible manner.
