Reporter kindly tested an the conclusion is:
- in PHP < 5.3 on Windows exec() (and similar) commands are not executed 
correctly if there are more than two double quotes in the entire command 
string
- both workarounds (.bat file with command and extra dummy command) work

I personally would go for the extra dummy command, but any opinions are 
welcome before I write a patch.
