No it wouldn't, cl.exe doesn't get the quotes either. So there no quotes to
ignore or to process. It's a matter of how DMD sends arguments to the process,
it does so by building an entire string. So it just concatenates the passed
argument into the list, but it's devoid of it's quotes because of cmd.exe.
Escaping the quotes so cmd.exe includes the quotes solves the problem.
