If I compile this snippet:

#include <stdio.h>
int main (int argc, char **argv)
{
     int i;
     for (i = 0; i < argc; ++i)
         printf("argv[%d] %s\n", i, argv[i]);
     return 0;
}

with cygwin GCC and then run it from CMD prompt:

     C:\cygwin\home\me> test \"stuff\"

it prints this:

     argv[0] test
     argv[1] \stuff"

Is that expected?  I'm aware that there is some conversion going on
and that it's meant to work from a cygwin shell really, but still.

Could someone shed light upon the reasoning with this?
