[issue20451] os.exec* mangles argv on windows (splits on spaces, etc)

[Steve Dower]

Steve Dower added the comment:

Automatically quoting arguments is more complicated than simply concatenating quotes, unfortunately, and people are guaranteed to have come up with ways to make it work already.

My vote is for leaving this alone and letting the higher level functions be more clever. Changing this function is certain to break existing code in unpredictable ways.
