Windows shells have their ways with quotes, Unix shells another one.

"\input{whatever.tex}"

goes through on either.  But I believe that Windows would require

"\input{"whatever.tex"}"

while Unix would require

"\input{\"whatever.tex\"}"

In short, we'd be out of the common denominator (and we can't just
decide based on OS since some people use bash under Windows, anyway).
Anybody with cmd.exe who wants to try this out?
