Yeah.  I changed it to read:

    /* Given a vector of command-line arguments, return a newly allocated
       string which, when passed to the create_inferior function, will be
       parsed (on Unix systems, by the shell) to yield the same vector.

I ended up implementing this for win32-nat.c:

  /* We quote each argument by adding "..." around it.  If the
     argument contains a quote character, we quote that with a
     backslash.  */

I did this based on some readings I found via a google search.  I
really know very little about Windows.  Does this approach sound
reasonable?
