Aha, I just saw there was an error but didn't know what you was aiming
for. Now I do. Yeah, I guess this is better in that only the two outer
quotes are stripped instead of all outer quotes. That way you will
strip this text correctly "text 'subtext'" -> text 'subtext'. Good work!

No this is clear. And since we identify blocks and single quote it is
possible to use double quotes there. Like for instance:
start program = "/bin/sh -c { echo "'$HOME'" } "
start program = "/sbin/xyz start --names=' "joe" "fritz" "ola" ' "

Yes, that's the hard one and what I was thinking about, for instance
now you cannot do:
start program = "/sbin/xyz --directories="/tmp /home" "
start program = "/sbin/xyz --directories=\"/tmp /home\" "
Instead you must use single quote:
start program = "/sbin/xyz --directories='/tmp /home' "
But this is of minor importance, alltough a nuisance.

Okay, I see Rory also voted for this. I'll try to put up a new dev
list with automatic cvs mails in a short while then.
