I seem to remember that Windows does something weird with = on the
command line.

No, this is a red herring.  The Windows "shell" does not interpret the command line in any way.  The text is passed untouched to the new process.  It's then up to your run-time library to parse that into argc/argv.  Different compiler run-time libraries do that slightly differently, but even the Microsoft run-time library handles = correctly.

Now, if you were actually saying that "getopt_long mishandles = on Windows", that's something I can't address.
