In general, this is good, but it duplicates some logic already in apr. There is a function, tokenize_to_argv, which given a string, will pass back an argv array. If we use that, then we get the ability to quote the arguments, and there is less duplicate code. Please re-submit with that change, and I will apply the patch. Ryan
