+# TODO: Here we should test for the Windows popen() command unquoting bug but
+# that test will have to wait until a better testing framework is implemented.
+# To reproduce the bug try executing any command with its first parameter quoted
+# and containing spaces and having at least one other quote in the command
+# string.
+#
+# For example:
+#
+#   "\Long folder name\aaa.exe" --name="Jurko" --no-surname
+#
+# would get its outermost quotes stripped and would be executed as:
+#
+#   \Long folder name\aaa.exe" --name="Jurko --no-surname
