Note that NT-based Windows limits the command line length (including
argv[0] and quotes) to 32767 (unicode) characters.  Also, the quoting
rules can be found in the C library source code for splitting arguments
into the argv[] array, as each process receives it as a single UTF-16LE
string, which is transported by the OS as a UNICODE_STRING structure).
