A variant of this wrapper will (hopefully!) soon show up on the 'master'
branch, required for version 80 of ungoogled-chromium.  It generates
response files where all "-lfoo" "-lbar" arguments are quoted, even
though they contain no spaces.

Thanks for the quick review, will merge it on core-updates after it hits
'master'.  :-)
