I have the following problem with transmitting arguments to a bash script
onward to an inside program call.

Lets name the inside program 'Z'.
An open number of arguments have to be transmitted from the script environment
to Z's environment. If an argument aa is given enclosed in double-quotes to
the script (because there are blanks within the value) these double-quotes are
removed when bash gets hold of it. When I transmit aa by use of $x, $* or $@,
the double-quotes are not resurrected by bash, which I think is a tragic
mistake because the call of Z obviously suffers a semantic error.

So far I could not solve the problem. As this kind of problem cannot be new,
is there any recommended way to solve it?
