The single quotes are there for two reasons: to allow arguments that contain
spaces in the strings, such as pathnames (c:\Documents and Settings\...),
and to prepare the migration towards EXT:RUN-PROGRAM which requires
individual arguments in a list.

The double quotes inside the single quotes mess everything up: the compiler
thinks they form part of the -L option.
