Comment:

 There is some code which is removing quotes like '"' and ''' if they occur
 and the begin and at the of the option value.
 Maybe there is a good reason for this? I don't know (maybe because of
 config files?).

 Anyhow, I attached a patch which removes this code and keeps the value as
 it come from the command line (expect the quotas which were removed by the
 shell).
