I think it will be hard to DTRT without shell-specific targets: a
Unixy shell needs to see the backslash escaped, the Windows shell
needs to see it alone.  $(ARGQUOTE) will not help here, since with
stock Windows shell, $(ARGQUOTE)\$(ARGQUOTE) evaluates to "\", and the
backslash will escape the quote, which is not what we want.
