        Previously, the code was only scanning %s's and replacing occurences
with the mm-quoted filename. Hence you could get 'quoted-filename'. With my
patch, it also looks for '%s', in which case the quotes will be eaten,
resulting in just the quoted-filename.

        I guess you're probably right.

        What still bothers me in this solution is that we're somewhat doing
the shell's job in understanding and processing its quoting syntax. That still
remains affordable in those simple cases, however.
