According to Karl Berry on 2/13/2008 7:18 PM:
| In a nutshell, if the source file name contains : or \ or " or any
| control character, we enclose it in quotes and escape as needed.
| Otherwise, no quotes needed. Wdyt?
If my QA_SPLIT_TRIGRAPHS patch is added, then the c_maybe_quoting_style in
combination with quotearg_colon (or a one-time
set_char_quoting(NULL,':',1)') does just that. It sounds easy to parse as
well - if the first character is ", search for the first unquoted " while
processing \ escapes; otherwise, search for the first :.

Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
