Simple command line output program

I think the issue is that quotes in the command line passed in when an
application starts through the Wine loader are prepended with a backslash,
whereas quotes in the command line when launched through CreateProcess are not.

Wine loader:

andrew at ubuntu-desktop:~$ wine ./commandline.exe.so "test"
Received command line: Z:\home\andrew\commandline.exe.so test
andrew at ubuntu-desktop:~$ wine ./commandline.exe.so \"test\"
Received command line: Z:\home\andrew\commandline.exe.so \"test\"

CreateProcess (cmd.exe):

andrew at ubuntu-desktop:~$ wine cmd
CMD Version 1.1.27

Z:\home\andrew>commandline.exe.so "test"              
Z:\home\andrew>Received command line: commandline.exe.so "test"

Z:\home\andrew>commandline.exe.so \"test\"
Z:\home\andrew>Received command line: commandline.exe.so \"test\"

For the uninstaller command line, the backslash escape character causes the
uninstaller to interpret the command line incorrectly, and thus fail.
