Hi.
I think shell-quote-argument should not use
(eq system-type'windows-nt)
instead it should take shell-file-name into account.
It seems very usual for emacs users on w32 to use cygwin or mingw.
Right now shell-quote-argument would return something wrong when bash
or some "intelligent" shell is used on w32 because it assumes a dumb
w32 shell.
What do others think about this (little tested) change?

"''"

(concat "\"" result (substring argument start) "\""))
! (if (string-match shell-dumb-shell-regexp shell-file-name)
(concat "\"" argument "\"")
(if (equal argument "")
"''"

I have not tested your change but I think your idea is good.

Seconded. We don't want to _force_ w32 users to use bad shells.
